Hot & Sour Chicken Soup Recipe with step by step pictures. Soup made with chicken, pepper, vegetables and eggs. The soup has a spicy and sour note to it, hence the name.
Hot & Sour Chicken Soup
Spicy Hot & Sour is the only soup which I order all time...We will go to a near by restaurant often and I will order this soup along with crispy fish fingers..Hmmm...This taste so awesome..I love adding egg and chicken in this soup..I love the taste of it..But if you wish you could make it entirely vegetarian..Skip the chicken and egg part in this recipe and add lots of vegetables.
I made this a while before and served it with some crispy chicken croquettes(remember the recipe). This was our dinner that day. It rained heavily that day and soup with fried chicken croquettes made us so comforting and cozy. So with no more delay..I am giving you the step by step recipe with pictures.

Hi aarthi, i made this soup in a big pot with 1.5 kg chicken. Got a bit generous with the sauces snd i thought i addded too much vinegar. But my husband totally loved it. Thank you so much for all your recipes. I only recently stumbled into your website and i should admit that i m addicted to it. Every day i visit it and for almost every dish that i make now, i refer your recipe. your simplified steps and pictures inspire me to cook more. God bless you!
