Hot and Sour Soup

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/hot-sour-soup-with-tofu-10000001973614/

Ingredients

1/2 c. diced chicken breast (1/2 inch by 1/2 inch)
1 c. mushroom caps sliced
1/8 c. carrots diced
4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons less-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup canned sliced bamboo shoots, drained and cut into julienne strips
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup thinly diagonally sliced green onion tops


Preparation


Stir in broth and next 10 ingredients (through garlic); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine remaining 1/4 cup water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixture and bamboo shoots into broth mixture; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Slowly drizzle egg into broth mixture (do not stir). Place pan over low heat; cook 1 minute. Stir soup gently to combine. Sprinkle with green onions.


Note: If you look at the original recipe you will see I'm using chicken breast and no tofu, plus I have added some carrots. Very good... hubby and I both liked it.

  1. I loved this the first time I made it using brown sugar but tonight I made it with Stevia not realizing that the ratios are so different. A word to the wise, if using a substitute use a LOT less. We had to throw the whole thing away! Pickup Lines Google Gravity Tricks I love you quotes Good Night Quotes
