How to Make Hot And Sour Soup Easy Version

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups chicken broth, 1 cup tomato juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/2 cup sliced bamboo shoots, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced).
  4. Simmer for another minute.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  6. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the soup, stirring constantly.
  7. Simmer until the soup slightly thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. While the soup simmers, lightly beat 1 large egg.
  9. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg into the boiling soup in a thin, continuous stream, stirring constantly to create thin egg strands.
  10. Continue to stir until the egg is fully cooked.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
