Restaurant-style hot and sour soup, minus the sugar, corn starch and MSG. You can add whatever other vegetables you like (hot and sour soup usually has mushrooms but I don't like them). I usually add bean sprouts and brown rice and serve it as a complete meal.Submitted by: MTRGRL

This was excellent! Addictive really. I used mini cucumbers to equal a large one, red pepper flavored rice vinegar & no wine. Also, sweet mayan onion (red was too strong). I used my mandoline slicer to make sure slices were uniform & thin. I had chili paste but used Sriracha instead. Yum! - 1/13/13

Good. I let it set a day to blend the flavors and it is just a bit too vinegary. Next time I either will not let it set or add some oil to cut the vinegar. - 9/4/12
