15-Minute Chinese Hot and Sour Soup

[@redcupchronicles6812]

This is by far one of my overall favorite soups. The owner of my local Chinese restaurant heard congestion in my voice and said "you need Hot and Sour Soup to break up your chest"......She was NOT lying after eating this soup my chest and nose opened right up and I began to feel better. Been eating it ever since, especially when you feel a cold coming on

[@martinredr]

Exactly. Sometimes I really like to have the Buldak 2x Spicy ramen as well cos as I say, that soup gets the evil spirits away. 😀

[@PinkoKane]

This wasn't even hot and sour soup. Where's the mushrooms? Where's the tofu? The sour part was cooked out of the soup, as the vinegar goes in at the end.

[@LizzySho]

Quick and easy to make. A lot more hot than sour. I will make it again and half the white pepper and siracha, and also add the vinegar at the end as others have suggested

[@KaiWillems]

This thing turned out to be my favourit soup. Very delicious and thanks for the receipe. What i do different is, that I boil a whole chicken, with carrots, selerie, leek and spices for at least one hour. Afterwards I remove the meat from the bones and skin and pressurecook the soup with the meat in 1 litre glasses (appr. 6-7 glasses). So I have always "the real thing" available and I dont have to use stock cubes, which makes a difference in the taste.

[@lifeindubai4033]

I tried it couple of times and everything it turns out so yummy...I don't usually comments on KZbin but the authenticity and taste of this receipe compelled me to comment ❤

[@chilitochoc]

Thank you! Means a lot 🫶

[@vroomster02]

I made this today. And let me tell you. Absolutely mind blowing and easy. Everyone loved it.

[@chilitochoc]

Thanks a lot!

[@ElementaryWatson-123]

I tried this recipe and it ain't good. First, don't use chicken cubes, they don't have good taste, and they contain MSG. Second, this soup has too much sweetness to it, don't add sugar. And there isn't good sour taste, you need to use black vinegar and more of it. Sriracha sauce is also wrong as well as chili garlic sauce, don't use anything but white pepper. Bell peppers don't fit in my view. But bamboo and mushrooms are a must. And by golly, no chicken, you can add slightly marinated pork.

[@sugarpuff2978]

​@@ElementaryWatson-123You sound happy.

[@alf3098]

Just cooked the soup: Best recipe ever! For years I searched for a recipe which is comparable to Chinese restaurants (in Germany). NOW I found it! Please allow these changes resp improvements (just my taste): 1 liter Chicken broth instead of water, and 7-8 TBSP starch (tapioka). Only 1/2 minute waiting for stirring the egg.

[@whynotdean8966]

Hot tip: Wait with the vinegar until just before you take it off the heat, or even until just before it's served. Also forgot to mention the obvious: it's incredible. Made it 3 times last month. But I can recommend using just under half a teaspoon (or to taste) of cayenne instead of white pepper. Maybe it's just me, but the white pepper smells really bad.

[@Forescity]

Not just you. I’ve the same problem. White pepper stinks

[@fitnessclub3865]

What is cyanee

[@mickleblade]

Cayenne pepper

[@whynotdean8966]

@@fitnessclub3865 Cayenne pepper is a spice that has the heat of chili's, without it burning all the way down to your stomach. It's great if you want things to be spicy, but not the long burn of chili peppers.

[@zegermanscientist2667]

Correct about the vinegar. It can break down the corn starch into smaller units, diminishing its thickening capabilitiy.

[@matze6424]

Ich habe die Suppe nachgekocht und war total begeistert 😍die Suppe ist extrem Lecker...für Rezept 10 Sterne 👍

[@JanPipo-gj1yc]

I love this soup. Can make it now. Thanks.

[@shakim3765]

I must give it a try, seems so good.

[@bluestaffy5101]

Give this a try it’s fantastic I didn’t have the stock cubes but it was still amazing thank you for sharing

[@TheRickie41]

Replaced the chicken by very small tofu cubes, no meat at hand. Very delicious!

[@Helloannette]

Definitely going to make it , looks so yum 😋 My favourite Chinese soup 😋😋

[@Golfdad8356]

Needs some dried shiitake for sure. Looks delicious

[@noorskitchenconnection]

Woooow Amazing Recipe a nice Recipe thanks for sharing such a nice Recipe 👍👍👍 Great job well done 👍👌👌

[@marangelasp7462]

It is Sunday, and I usually do not cook on Sundays, just a good breakfast. But, after watching this video, I am making this soup now. I have all the ingredients. The only thing is that I will add sliced pieces of tofu and pieces of ginger. I am vegetarian and I do not eat meat. It looks very easy and tasty. Thanks!

[@gnanegnanendran2705]

Super super. Tried it few times and extremely happy. Thanks

[@Timmy6884]

That’s one of my “must order food” in takeaway 👍🏻

[@KitchenCorner]

Soup looks so good and glad to have you back 😊

[@chilitochoc]

Thank you! Happy to be back ♥️

[@mariasherazi3170]

Turned out good

[@rosaoddin4338]

How about adding very thin sliced strips of ginger?

[@Wojtek_Ch]

1st: adding sliced strips of human meat would be an act of cannibalism and most likely illegal 2nd: it's not polite to call people with red hair "gingers"

[@zwierzolak12]

Awesome soup, added some cabbage and mushrooms to the mix.

[@JulieClark-dc2nv]

This is The BEST SOUP IN THE WORLD EVER!! MY FAVOURITE.. our Chinese Restaurant Makes this the first time i had this i was Hooked!! BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️ I Have the vegetarian one.. BALISIMO MWAH! 😋😋

[@andystone6777]

T.O.P. ! ! ! 👍❤👍 thanks 4 inspiration & recipe 🙂

[@HealthyWorldCuisine]

Just what we are craving! Really hits the spot on these cool damp days.

[@JE-western-rider]

Make it a few times and adjust the ingredient amounts as ou go. You'll find your perfect bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. Mabe I missed it ..... the creator used Siracha sauce and please realize that is not traditional and will add heat and change the overall flavor a bit. MAybe I missed this .... White Pepper. In traditional Hot and Sour Soup the heat comes from White Pepper. At about 02:30, we simmer the soiup for a couple of minutes. Add the white pepper and and Vinegar right before you take the soup off the heat. White Vinegar is sharp compared to Chinese Vinegars. [ you can use Chinese Dark Vinegar or substitute Balsamic Vinegar ] Taste. Adjust. Stir. Taste Adjust, Stir, Taste .... and you will get your perfect bowk of Hot and Sour Soup.

Superb recipe

[@goeathammad]

Oh thank god !!! Glad to see post from you. Welcome back. Hope the break was good.

[@timb0man]

Substituted tofu for the chicken. Very good recipe. Tasty and opens the nasal and sinus cavities. Yum!

[@jaimejbp]

You’re recipe is delicious. Not mentioned but are those sliced jalapeño chillis? I added two sliced Tchitakee mushrooms two.

This is going to be my new favorite 😀

[@sarakatharina2928]

If I make chicken soup from scratch, can I use that instead of water and chicken stock cubes? The chicken meat would be in there too so that sounds like a good base, no?

[@chilitochoc]

Yes that will work wonderfully! 👍

[@czanki]

only question is why to use stock cubes, when you still have to bois your chicken? Homemade stock is muuuuch better

[@dcongdon2294]

Looks good

[@nitelite78]

What were the green chillis sitting in before adding at the end? Are they just in water to stay fresh or is it white vinegar?

[@chilitochoc]

It is white vinegar. You can add some at the end for more heat.

[@vincehilton5980]

I can't wait to cook the vegan version of this ! I'll substitute fried salted & peppered oyster mushrooms and broken silken tofu with a bit of black salt. I'm looking forward to this. *.*

[@marlies7444]

Yes Tofu and mushrooms should be part of hot & sour soup. I like woodear and shitake.

Spilled ever bit of this soup into the bowl and danged if ever bite wasn't eaten. So good, hot soup on the coldest day of your life. Yes, it's worth it, yes, it's good, yes soup is good, but one taste of that hot and sour soup, you could've done broke the mold🧃

I am surprised at no shitake mushrooms or tofu but I guess I could add it.

[@Yahoo731]

Chinese soups are very delicious like Turkish, Kurdish soup. Turkish and Chinese products are best like Pakistani products. They are cheap and affordable for everyone.

[@paragmishra55]

How can you praise adulterated products of a beggar country like 🇵🇰..??? Cheap doesn’t mean that it has quality…. Pakistani products are all adulterated & are of very bad quality….

[@conradkappel9426]

Not quite the same as the original. But an excellent time saving alternative.

nice! carrots to replace bamboo shoots. I can find carrots

[@derickcraft3437]

I have bronchitis, just made this.

[@anotherjoe5675]

Made this today... First time through precisely followed the recipe... Except when it came to Sriracha... Said to myself, two tablespoons is a lot of Sriracha... Put in one... I like spicy food but still way over the top... Will use two teaspoons next time... Otherwise good... A bit more savory than typically found in Asian themed restaurants... A little disappointed there... Oh, and I did use my own homemade chicken stock... No bullion cubes...

[@glendaschirmer6885]

Everything was good with the soup except the spice was over the top spicy. Would be better cut in half.

[@mb56436]

I stopped at the bell pepper Hot and sour soup does not have bell peppers in it!

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

No mushrooms? I'm so lost.

Interesting, no fungus or tofu

[@perthyren601]

no schrooms 🤔

[@macweed3358]

I payed f ing 6 pound for this off my local china woman

[@nicholasfici805]

The heat should come from the white pepper alone. This recipe also lacks all the traditional veggies like shiitake mushrooms and Lily flowers. The vinegar should be black vinegar. I suppose this might be tasty but to call it hot and sour is just wrong.
