Hot and Sour Soup

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

I made this with a Thai spice blend (couldn't find lemongrass) and omitted lime leaves (couldn't find them, either). It was incredible! - 3/17/10

Lime leaves and lemongrass stalks can usually be found at specialty markets (ie if you have an international district or whole foods type store, you can usually at least find the lemongrass - sometimes in a tube). Glad you enjoyed!
