hot and sour soup
Spicy acidic broth
Hot and sour soup is a Chinese soup characterized by its contrasting flavors of vinegar (providing sourness) and white pepper or chili (providing heat).
The soup typically contains ingredients like tofu, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and egg ribbons in a thickened broth.
It appears on virtually every Chinese restaurant menu in the West and is often ordered as a starter alongside egg drop soup or wonton soup.
