Gluten-Free Hot and Sour Soup (VE)
This is the soup that shakes it up a little and shudders off the cold of winter. The vinegar gives it that sour aspect of the taste that will leave you wanting more. This vegan version is a perfect starter to a meal, but you can add tofu to make it a hearty lunch or dinner. Rice noodles were added today, but don’t limit yourself. You could add dumplings, a variety of vegetables… whatever suits your fancy. The broth is a great backdrop to whatever you desire.
(Serves: 1-2)
