Hot and Sour Chicken Soup

Hot and Sour Chicken Soup is a delicious 30 minute meal. It has the perfect balance of hot and sour that will make this a family favorite.

Hot and Sour Chicken Soup is a fall favorite. The chicken makes it a little more hearty so it can be made into a meal instead of just a side. The fam loves Hot and Sour Soup and just about all Asian food for that matter!

This soup isn't overly sour but rather a nice blend of flavors and makes a perfect quick weeknight meal in under 30 minutes. 

If your really looking to please a crowd of hungry kidlets or hungry men folk I like to throw in some Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls.

Hot and Sour Soup also works well with leftover turkey instead of chicken just add after the mushrooms are softened.

Here's how to make Hot and Sour Chicken Soup:

Remove stem and slice 1/2 pounds Shiitake Mushrooms.

In a large stock pot add: 

• 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
• 2 whole Large Chicken Breast, Diced 
• 1/2 pound Shiitake Mushrooms, Sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger, Grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, Minced 
• 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Chili Garlic Sauce depending on how hot you like your soup (omit for non spicy)

 Sauté until mushrooms start to soften.

Combine 1/4 cup Cornstarch and slowly whisk in 8 cups Chicken Stock. 

Whisk into pan scraping any brown bits off the bottom.

 

Add 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce or to taste.

Bring soup to a simmer and cook about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Rinse 5 ounces Sliced Bamboo Shoots in water and drain well. 

Add to Hot and Sour Soup.

Turn heat off and add 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Honey.

Add 1/4 cup Rice Vinegar.

Taste soup and adjust soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar to taste.

Combine 3 whole Eggs with 1 tablespoon water.

Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Add 3 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Seed Oil to to taste to soup.

While stirring soup in a circle in one direction (i.e. like a whirlpool) slowly pour in eggs. 

Add:

• 10 ounces Firm Tofu, Drained and Cubed
• 8 ounces Fresh Mung Bean Sprouts

Top with 3 whole Sliced Scallions and serve immediately.
