Hot & Sour Veg Soup Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the base of the soup

   In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add mixed vegetables

   Once the broth is boiling, add the mixed vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, cabbage, and peas) into the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

3. 3

   Season the broth

   Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili paste, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Thicken the soup

   In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to form a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the soup while stirring continuously until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.

   Garnish and serve

   Remove the pot from heat. Ladle the hot and sour veg soup into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
