I have been craving Hot and Sour Soup. I just recently got acquainted with it at all-you-can-eat Chinese buffets. The only thing I used to eat was Egg Drop, I gave the Hot and Sour a try, and I was hooked! So anyways.....I have been looking for an easy recipe. I'm not a fan of complicated ingredient recipes, so it is why I chose this one. Even nicer that it is a Weight Watcher recipe, although I don't follow Weight Watchers anymore.
I got all the ingredients for this hot and sour soup last night (except hopefully white mushrooms will work, all that had was the white mushrooms or portabellas. I could not find shiitake.) . I hope it tastes good. I'm going to make it today, and probably eat it this weekend. I heard that if you make it a day ahead of time it is always better, and gives the tofu time to take on the flavor of the soup. If you make it, or even have a better recipe than this, feel free to share.

This sounds quite yummy...I think I will try it! Have you tried it yet, with the white mushrooms? How'd it turn out?

It turned out good, but since I never made it with the original, I'm not sure if there is a difference. I did see that another grocery store in my town had the shiitakes, but I had already made it with the white mushrooms. I have a "thing" with tofu. It really doesn't taste bad, but I can't seem to get over it. I think adding chicken or lean pork might be as good (per other, more complicated recipes).0
