This is a spicy, sour and hot vegetable soup from the Indo Chinese cuisine.

Come winters and we really look forward to having hot bowl of soups in the season, even though we are not much of soup lovers.

Chinese Hot and Sour soup broth is made with chicken stock which is flavoured with typical Asian ingredients such as soy sauce, sugar, pepper and ginger.

The sourness comes from plain white vinegar.

Some recipes use Chinese black vinegar or rice vinegar, but I honestly think white vinegar.
