I had criminis on hand so that is all I used, and I probably used more than called for. I liked this soup a lot. Next time I will probably add a little more wine vinegar and maybe some sirachi for a little more heat.

Great. I added more vinegar, and boiled hot peppers in the soup to add more spice. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is exactly like the hot and sour soup at my favorite chinese restaurant. I made it once with regular black pepper and it wasn't very spicy. Then I made it with ground white pepper and holy mama! It was GREAT! I also doubled the amount of red wine vinegar.

I would like more "Hot" in this recipe. I added lots of thai chilli sauce and it made it tasted more like the hot and sour I am used too. Overall good base recipe though.

I took out the sugar and the salt as the chicken stock I used had salt and I thought that was plenty. I didn't add in the pork or the buds (I couldn't find them). But it turned out well. Will definitely make again!

My boyfriend absolutely LOVES it! We couldn't find the mushrooms as with all of them. We substituted with oyster, shitakes, white, and bella. It wasn't sour enough for us but still amazing. As good as it was, it doesn't remind us of our favorite restaurant but it's a good base to start with. Thanks so much for sharing! Will be making again.

This is a great recipe for hot and sour soup. It had great flavor and reminded me of a many a bowl of soup from the Chinese restaurant. Glad that I will be able to duplicate it at home and know that it does not contain any MSG in it.
