We loved this. We actually subbed tofu for the chicken. This is a great diabetic friendly soup.

This is a good soup recipe. I did add in some tofu, bamboo shoots and baby corn, but otherwise followed your recipe. Very good. I will make again, as its a simple hot and sour soup recipe. Thankyou for sharing with us.

This is absolutely fabulous. I've been looking for a recipe for years. It's so easy. I had most of the ingredients on my shelf. I'm watching my fat intake right now so I omitted the chicken and only had portabella mushroom but it was still great. I stopped and got the shiitake on my way home so I can make it again. Doubled the pepper flakes. I like it hot. Thanks
