Easy Hot & Sour Soup

2 Tbsp Olive oil

1.5 Tbsp Chili garlic paste

1 8oz box Sliced mushrooms

1 8oz box Baby Bella mushrooms

1 6-8oz can Straw mushrooms

2 32 oz box Chicken stock (Vegetable broth for vegetarian)

1/3 Cup Rice vinegar

1/3 Cup Soy sauce

1/4 Cup Water

4 Tbsp Cornstarch

1 Each Egg (Leave out for vegan recipe)

Coat the bottom of a 12 quart soup pot with the olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until slightly done (don’t over cook them). Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil and immediately turn down to simmer for 10 minutes. Keep simmering and add the rice vinegar and soy sauce.

In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water and add slowly to the broth while stirring. Beat egg and add to the broth while stirring hard (spinning the soup). Simmer for 1 hour. Serves 8.

This recipe is very receptive to other ingredients such as tofu and/or pork, bamboo shoots or whatever else you think would go well with the hot & sour flavors.
