Re: hot and sour soup
Chicken stock cube in 1 litre of water. OPTIONAL - Add 1 teaspoon of garam masala (it makes it taste really nice).Boil.
When boiling add some chopped boneless chicken.
Add:
2 or 3 spoons of soy sauce.
1 or 2 spoons of vinegar.
2 -3 spoons of hot chilli sauce. (If u can't get, add some red chilli powder to your taste).
1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
IF U WANT TO BE A CHEAT AND GET THAT RESTAURANT TASTE, THEN ADD HALF A TEASPOON OR LESS OF AJNIMOTO / MSG / CHINASALT - BUT BE WARNED, IT'S NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR U.
Mix about half a cup of cornstarch/cornflour in 1 cup of water and when thoroughly mixed, pour it into the stock while stirring all the time (to stop lumps). This will thicken the soup. If it's too thick, add some more water. If it's not thick enough, add more cornflour mix.
Then add your chopped vegetables. These can be a selection like below.
Carrots.
Sweetcorn.
Cabbage.
Red / green peppers.
Onions.
Only cook the veg in the soup for a small time, until just cooked but still crunchy.
Taste the soup, if u think any seasoning needs adding or there's something missing, add more. E.g. if u feel it needs more soy sauce or vinegar, then add it.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander / dhaniya / cilantro when serving.
Also, finely slice green chillies and add to boiling vinegar with a spoon of salt. Use this as a garnish.
As I said before, don't be afraid to taste as u cook and add more stuff. This is not a solid recipe, it's just a basic recipe. Some people add a squeeze of tomato puree or some different spices. It's up to u.
Thanks for posting the recipe, Halwa :)
It's a very popular soup and recipes for it are oft-sought.

Re: hot and sour soup
Mention not, mention not! If it turns out rubbish, I must ask your forgiveness in advance, bcos thats the way I make it (from memory) and sometimes I add something like a dash of worcestershire sauce, or more stick cube, or something else from the store cupboard. Hopefully it will turn out ok.

rupayhalwa wat do mean : IF U WANT TO BE A CHEAT AND GET THAT RESTAURANT TASTE, THEN ADD HALF A TEASPOON OR LESS OF AJNIMOTO / MSG / CHINASALT - BUT BE WARNED, IT'S NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR U.
Re: hot and sour soup
^ MSG is a flavour enhancer, probably ALL the restaurants in Pakistan use it in their food, and most of the Chinese restaurants use it all over the world. It gives food more taste, and is addictive. HOWEVER, some people say that it has adverse health effects. If u look up the ingredients in desi packet soup mixes, u will find monosodium glutamate - flavour enhancer.

Re: hot and sour soup
thank you so much for the recipe. I am going to make this over the weekend. Just 1 question. would it be ok to add a egg at the end? Also, where it says "finely slice green chillies and add to boiling vinegar with a spoon of salt. Use this as a garnish" do i boil the vinegar seprate and add the chillies and salt and then add it to the soup?
Re: hot and sour soup
Yes, u can add a beaten egg stirred in at the end, whatever u like.
Boil the vinegar in a separate little pan, then add some sliced fresh green chillies and salt. Let it boil for a few moments, probably less than a minute and then transfer to another little dish. People can serve themselves with the chillies at the table, however much they like into their own bowl.
Hope it turns out good for u.
