When we order Chinese food we usually order hot and sour soup with our entree. So of course, we had to try and make it at home. What a perfect Fall/Winter soup to make on a Sunday. It turned out great, and was excellent warmed up the next day for leftovers. Ry likes a lot of spice and I like just a little. This recipe has just enough spice, but not too much.
