Hot and Sour Chicken Soup recipe with step by step photo - Winter is here and we really look forward to having hot bowl of soups in this season, even though we are not much of soup lovers. Soups are so comforting and warming in cold. Hot and Sour Soup is a popular Chinese soup loaded with veggies and usually chicken. I made this soup with chicken and some veggies.
In this hot and sour soup the hot element comes from ingredients like chilies and black pepper. So either red chili paste or green chili sauce is added. The sour element in the soup comes from vinegar.
Try this healthy and flavorful soup this winter. It's simply delicious.
