Hot and Sour Soup
Finally a soup that does not use dairy products! This means that soup lovers for whom milk protein (allergy) and lactose (lactose intolerance) are problematic can also have access.
Vegetarians leave out the pork and use a little more tofu and egg instead. If you want to get fed up with the soup, add some boiled rice or pre-cooked Chinese noodles (also: wok noodles).
