Hot and Sour Soup

This tangy, spicy Hot & Sour soup is an Indo Chinese soup loaded with spring onion, French beans, carrot and cabbage. This restaurant-style Hot & Sour soup is the best. It’s one of those things that always ordered in a restaurant. It is not only soup, but we can say it is a vegetable stew.

Hot and sour soup is actually incredibly easy to make as well as easy to adapt to your personal taste preferences, and so delicious. It is known for its spicy, sour and flavored taste. It is a perfect combination of bitterness and sweetness. It will warm you up in chilly winters. During the winter season, I make this soup very often as all vegetables like carrot, spring onion are easily available in fresh and organic form. The flavour and texture in this soup are an addictive combination, making it a firm Indo Chinese restaurant favourite.

Hot and Sour Soup


There are so many more ingredients that work well in this dish. To make this soup you will need vegetables, soya sauce, vinegar, corn starch (Flour), salt and pepper. In this soup the sourness comes from vinegar and spiciness from pepper and green chilli. Hot and Sour soup is thickened with cornflour (cornstarch). When you add corn starch, keep in mind that the consistency should be thicker than water, but not thick like puree kind soup. It should be slightly thick.
You can serve it as a starter or appetizer before meal. It should be served warm otherwise it would not give taste better. So ladle up your servings while the soup is nice and hot, garnished with extra green onions.
