Although quite a challenge finding the ingredients when you haven't the slightest idea of what you are look for, this recipe turned out to be outstanding or, in the least, a close call to my favourite restaurant but defiantly better then some! One thing is for certain when using this recipe...use white pepper as it gives it that warm comforting feeling; chillies will just give that hot sting. It’s a keeper! All and all its a keeper!

My first time ever making this soup.I loved it! I made a few adjustments; more vinegar, hot sauce, omitted tiger lily buds, added black fungus (cut thinly), and did not add any sugar. It was delicious..Thank you!

This was good, but needed a little extra kick. I will definitley make this again but perhaps add some red pepper flakes and up the vinegar. My significant other loved it as is.

This was really good. I couldnt find tiger lily buds or wood ear shrooms though. It was thicker than what I get at the local Chinese restaurant but it was great. I will be making it again. It is rather salty though for those trying to avoid too much sodium. I'm going to work on cutting that back.

This was a good recipe. I made a few changes--cut out the tiger lilly buds and woodear mushrooms and used matchsticks of a grilled peppercorn porkloin instead of ground pork--but overall the flavor was very nice. Next time I think I'll cut the shitake mushrooms, too...just not my favorite...and look for tree fungus at the oriental market to add a little something back.

I,like previous reviewers, could not find tiger lilly buds, but it didn't make a difference. This soup is EXCELLENT! I loved it so much that I ate most of it before the family could even try it! I will be making this all of the time...thank you very much for the recipe!

This recipe was AWESOME. I couldn't find any of the odd ingredients (tiger buds, etc) except dried shiitakes so I used those and just regular sliced mushrooms. I also used a whole can of bamboo shoots (didn't want to waste them) and added a bit more sugar but overall, this tasted almost identical. I left out the meat and tofu as well. Yum, yum!!!

EXCELLENT. I too couldn't find Tiger Lily Buds so just left them out. I did substitute Rice Vinegar and used 1/4 cup of it. I am more than pleased. A real keeper for the recipe box!!

As they say, just like the restaruants! We used about 2x as much sugar becacuse we like it that way when we go out. Next time we'll simply use regular mushrooms. The dried ones we used were tough and detracted from the soup. If company was over we'd probably try to stick with the authetic ones.

This recipe didn't taste anything like the hot and sour soups I have eaten in any of the numerous Chinese restaurants I have visited. It could be the recipe but then again it just may have been the cook! Not sure but too expensive to make again and find out.

Excellent! Like many, I couldn't find tiger lily buds and wood ear mushrooms so I used losts of dried shitake and oyster mushrooms. I also added a bit more sour by putting in an extra tablespoon of rice vinegar. I will make again! It is great when you have a cold!

I made a lot of changes....I ommittes all of the mushrooms, tofu etc. and ended up with just the soup and egg. I did like the soup, but needed to add more vinegar to get the "sour", and more cornstarch for a thicker soup.

This tasted exactly like my favorite restaurant's hot and sour! I couldn't find dried shiitake, or wood ear mushrooms and tigerlily buds in my rural area, but I used canned shiitake mushrooms instead and it was very good. The color of the soup was quite a bit paler, no doubt because of the lacking dried ingredients, and I had to add extra vinegar just to get it as sour as I like it, but overall I'd say this is a great recipe and I'll definitely make it again.

I used white vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and added chilli garlic sauce in it (to make it spicy). If you don't have ground pork, you can thinly sliced pork meat or even chicken, add a little oil in the saucepan, stir-fry thinly sliced ginger (1-2cm piece) and add the meat, stir well until the meat is browned and then you add the other ingredients. The ginger will add some spicyness into the soup as well. Since I did change the recipe, I gave it 4 stars. Overall, very delicious soup.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!! I don't typically like the Hot N Sour soup served in Chinese restaurants but made this for my husband. We have, as a result, added this recipe to our usual meals and have it several times a month. We also couldn't find tiger lilies and omitted them. I wonder what flavor they bring, if any? I serve this for family and friends as well, who love it too! Thanks so much!

Great recipe! Accurate, easy instructions. Test seasonings as you go to get the balance of hot and sour you like, especially if you're scaling the recipe. Yum yum!
