Method
Hot & Sour Soup Directions
Prepare the Broth
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Thicken the Soup
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the soup to thicken it, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Season the Soup
Add the white vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and salt to taste. Stir well to combine.
Add Eggs
Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the soup while stirring gently to create ribbons.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
