Hot and Sour Soup

This soup was excellent and really reminded me of the flavours I remember from restaurants growing up. Love that there are a lot of veggies - although it does mean a bit more prep time.

This was excellent! Family had many helpings - very tasty!

Delicious , we did add white pepper for extra oomph!

Can't wait to try this recipe

I love adding white pepper to this recipe. So yummy and soothing in the winter months

Love this

Another incredible recipe! This is delicious…

Hi PUL! This recipe sounds so lovely but I really dont like mushrooms. Is there anything else you’d recommend? Love to hear it!

Hey D, if you're not a fan of mushrooms, you could try substituting them with diced zucchini or bell peppers for a different texture and flavour. We'd love to hear how it turns out if you give the recipe a try 🙌

Thank you. This turned out so yummy. Everyone from my in-laws to my 10yr old daughter loved it. And she is the one who is the hardest to please. :) This one is going into my regular week dinners.

So glad that the soup was enjoyed, Shradha, thank you! 😊

Woooow this was delicious! Unique flavour and perfect texture. Kept really well in the fridge. Going to make a huge batch of this every week and vary the vegetables 😊 thanks for the recipe!

So happy to hear, Tina, thank you! 😊

I made this for my boyfriend on his birthday, we both really loved it! He told me to keep the recipe so we can make it again and again! I also found my love for shiitake mushrooms again with this recipe!

Yayy we're so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, Catherine! Happy birthday to your boyfriend as well 🥳

Absolutely fallen in love with this recipe...

The perfect soup after a long walk in the cold, warming and so full of flavor. Thank you for the great recipe.💚

Okay, this is hands down my favorite soup! Soooo good and we've already made it thrice 😆😁

Instead of pairing this up with rice, we have it on its own, and also make the PUL kimbap for a fuller meal all together and it is perfect!

The only downside here is that it took MUCH, MUCH longer than what the recipe said :(( and that was really disheartening and frustrating. Did it really take only 15 minutes to chop onions, mushroom, julienne carrots, minced garlic and ginger and more? If so, would you mind sharing some tips and tricks as to how you do that? I spent over 45 mins just cutting veggies :(

Hey Preethi, aw we're so happy that the soup was enjoyed despite the longer-than-expected prep time! We find that practicing knife skills and finding a comfortable rhythm can help speed the process. We've heard another similar review about the time, so we bumped up the prep time a bit 🙌

This soup is amazing! So warm and fresh at the same time! Thank you!

All getting over the flu, booo. Hubby said I’m craving hot and sour soup. Thankfully, the app has EVERYTHING. I’ve never made this soup before and always assumed it was complicated? Wow, this recipe is perfect and easy! Thanks for healing us and warming us!

Aw so glad the app had what the hubby was craving. Wishing you and your family a speedy return to full health!

I've to say, this is one of the best soups I've ever had! Oh my gosh I would eat it every day!!! I loved it so much! Thank you!!!

A huge compliment, Valentina, thanks a bunch! 🤗

Absolutely delicious!!! Explosion of flavors !

Absolutely delicious 😋

Made the soup this week. The first bowl was okay. Then i warmed it up later in the dar for a second bowl and it was better. Finally the following day I warmed it up for breakfast and it was soooo good. It just kept getting better and better.

Glad to hear the recipe and flavours grew on you, Sarai! 😄

I tried this recipe today andI love it! :-)It is so simple to put together . I turned it into a noodle soup by adding rice noodles when the soup was simmering. It was like cherry on the cake :)

Ooo a noodle soup sounds lovely! Thank you, Tulika 🤗

Very nice

Delish

Oh my goodness, the flavor of this soup is delicious! I can’t recommend this enough! I will be also making this again in the winter months! Thank you so much for all your amazing dishes and this new app! Loving the timers and lists for directions, so easy to use!

Yayyy 🥰 thank you so much for the kind words and support, Alicia!

Super delish! I probably didn’t de-seed the chilies enough so was quite spicy but it was still enjoyed. Did take me longer than said just because there is quite a bit of prep, in saying that definitely worth it!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the soup, Isla 🤗

This is better than in any restaurant. It tastes so fresh and not at all gloopy!
I did have to make a couple of substitutions as I couldn't get sugar snap peas (except for a few I picked out of a frozen wok mix pack) or shiitake mushrooms. I did, however, have a pack of dried wood ear mushrooms at home and these worked brilliantly and the green beans I added provided an extra fresh crunch. I'll definitely be making this again. Looking forward to trying the leftovers tomorrow.
Thank you for another great recipe and for enhancing our mealtimes.

Ooo thanks for sharing your experience with the soup and for the very kind words, Phillipa! It means so much 🥰
