Delicious Asian Soup

"This is an original Asian soup recipe from a popular Asian restaurant in California, sent to me by my girlfriend who resides there. This is one of the best, and easy to make Asian soup recipes around, a must-try. (Note: if you are not a big fan of tofu, then it may be omitted if desired, but I think that the soup has a much better taste with the tofu added)"

  1. DELICIOUS-a great starter to my Beijing meal tonight! I did make a few changes to appeal to a crowd-I omited the shrimp, cilantro, and spinach, and I added shitake and straw mushrooms and beaten egg. Fast, easy, and soooo flavorful. Thank you, Kitten, for a wonderful recipe!!!
     
  2. An excellent soup with subtle but complex flavors that that are enhanced by re-heating.
