recipe reviews #100308
Brittney (Colorado) says:
This is the -best-. I make this recipe all the time, in Colorado it can get cold and the drop of a hat, and that always plays with my sinus issues. I make this whenever i feel bad, it's simple, tastes just like the restaurant and cooks in a flash. I tend to add a touch more chili paste.

Dmitriy (Michigan) says:
Easily one of my favorite recipes ever. The soup is easy to make, doesn't use any fancy ingredients, and is better than what you would find at most Asian food places.

Oh my goodness! I just made this for dinner and it was fabulous! My whole family loved it and said I should have made more! So easy and so good. And I didn't have many of the ingredients. I didn't do the meat, tofu, bamboo or sesame oil and it still turned out great! I will be making this a lot.

This soup ROCKS. I am sick and was looking for something to clean out my sinuses... It takes better than anything I've ever ordered. I added a Jamaican hot pepper to help my cold though :)... Thanks Rusty!!!

Lyndsey (Texas) says:
This recipe is amazing! I was looking for a recipe that did not contain pork but was still authentic tasting and this is it! Based on the reviews I added a little more garlic chili sauce & cut back on the toasted sesame oil and the result was perfect - a hot, tangy, delicious soup! This beats my favorite hot and sour soup from a restaurant.

Jennifer (Illinois) says:
Found this recipe last week, finally got around to making it tonight- it is FANTASTIC! The perfect blends of hot and sour, super easy to make, and like the other reviews say- it is even better than what you get in most restaurants. Only thing I left out of the recipe was the sesame oil- which tends to be overpowering in most soups, and it was perfect without it! Added a little extra white pepper, and used shiitake mushrooms. Delicious!

This was sooooo good! Tasted just like the Chinese restaurant. I doubled the chili sauce for an extra kick. My family loved it. Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to make it again.

Betty (Michigan) says:
I agree with all of the others - great recipe - soup was awesome! I didn't use the tofu, and added carrots that I julienned. I would definitely make this recipe again! YUM!

Mike (Alabama) says:
Based on the comments I think this recipe is probably very good. I was out of white vinegar and substituted Rice Vinegar but the soup lacked body and it did not taste as good as what most of the reviews say! Many sweet and sour soup recipes call for rice vinegar but with this recipe it is not a good substitute!

Soozyq (Oregon) says:
Awesome base recipe. I personally didn't need the cornstarch, or maybe less of that next time. Easily make it your way: more sweet, more sour, more brothy, thicker, thinner. Thanks for the recipe.
