Hot n Sour Chicken Soup | Asian Soup Recipe

Soup is a comfort food that is found in almost all parts of the world. It can be served either warm or cold. It is the first thing we all order when we go out for lunch. I never thought of making soup and never even thought to have it until I got married. I was afraid of it.

When I asked my hubby why he is not ordering any soup. I know he like them very much. He said that he can order only if someone join him. So I had soup for him. Since my childhood, that was the first soup I have ever tasted. To say the truth it was good. I really enjoyed it. Now, I always wanted to make this at home. I share it with you because I want you to enjoy the same at home. It is easy to make, tasty and good for you too. Serve it up and enjoy!
