In this Chinese soup recipe, an egg is stirred in at the end to form tiny ribbons. For more flavor, add a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil just before serving. Note: Be sure to drain the tofu thoroughly before adding it to the soup so it will soak up the flavor of the broth.

    I liked this recipe. I poached chicken in the broth, then reserved it for a later use. Poaching the chicken in the broth made it more flavorful. I also added sauteed garlic and poached carrots. I used crimini mushrooms which are cheaper than shiitake mushrooms and just as flavorful. I found that adding additional fresh ginger just before serving made it more fresh tasting.

    This recipe tasted just like the hot and sour soup my mom and I would often order from our favorite local Chinese take-out place. Eating it brought back great memories of spending time with my mom. I plan on passing this on to my mother. She will really enjoy it too, thanks.
