Hot and Sour Soup
Hot and Sour Soup
Hot and Sour Soup is another favourite amongst Soups. I love Soups be it Winter or Summers and especially love having it with different garnishing. I still think that the Hot and Sour Soup served at the Chinese Restaurants in Karachi were much better than what I have tasted here in Perth.Hence I have tried to bring out a similar flavour. Hot and Sour is a very flavourful Soup and has a variety of Veggies and you may use either Chicken or Prawns as a Protein element in the Soup. This Soup is so delicious that I feel if it were even Vegetable Hot and Sour Soup, I would still have it delightfully 🙂 I have put the vegetables towards the end so that it still maintains a crunchiness and is not soggy. You may also use the ready made stock if you don't want to make it from scratch.This is a perfect Soup for a cold Winter Night and also can be served for get togethers or parties as a appetizer, it surely will be a hit!
