Hot & Sour Soup Mix Packets - Asian Soup Recipe - 1.34 Ounces Each (Pack of 12)

I think this is a great hot and sour soup BASE. I chop up lots of vegetables and put in protein sources (tofu/egg) and add cider vinegar for the sour part. This is not terribly spicy, but it is flavorful and that's all I want. People say my hot and sour soup is more like hot and sour stew and they are not wrong. It's a pretty chunky "soup" with all the vegetables I put in it and it's a very healthy quick complete meal.

This is basically a powder, so add water and whatever veggies you choose and cook. I like to use bamboo shoots, julienned carrots, celery and sometimes I add a bit of shredded chicken. The recipe on the back of the envelope also calls for a beaten egg, which I don't use. Both the packages of hot & sour and egg drop soup use a chicken broth base, which has a great flavor. I often use it to season chicken I cook in my slow cooker or insta pot.

When I first bought this, I made it like it was a "cup of soup", without diluting it with the water and egg. I loved it! Then, I read the directions....and decided I would rather continue eating it as I had started....undiluted with the water and egg. It is HOT, and just so good this way. The only thing is, by my eating it this way, it gets kind of pricey....about $3 per cup. Oh, well...maybe someday I will go by the recipe, but drinking it the way I do, I think I will probably keep it this way. Each to his own. Worth a try, though.

I love this soup so easy and taste very good

I bought this product because I originally purchased it at Raleys Grocery Store to try it. I have a poor appetite lately and so I buy products that really appeal to my taste buds! Just for curiosity I checked on Amazon to see if they had the same brand AND GUESS WHAT...they did, and it was 40 cents cheaper per psckage. I bought a dozen packages. What can I say*

This soup is just what I wanted..

For a mix this soup is really good, and a great value! I add tofu and soy sauce, plus I thicken it with some cornstarch. Very tasty. While my favorite is still the restaurant version, this is good stuff, and I don’t have to leave the house!

We love the soup we make with this seasoning. We make the soup with chicken or shrimp usually, and add veggies. Also makes for zesty addition to stir fry, and dips, probably lots more.
