Tofu Hot-&-Sour Soup
I loved it so much. I used a button mushroom and made my own pepper sauce and skipped the Bok Choy because the store did not have. It was so good!

Outstanding recipe
I regularly make a version of this soup... it's a staple in our diets. I use button mushrooms (easier) and at the end of cooking beat two eggs and slowly poor into the soup. I use asian rooster sauce instead of other hot sauces as well. If there's left over veggies in the house I'll normally toss them in to. Depending on my mood, I'll up the amount of soy or rooster sauce. Great basic and easy recipe to create from.

Awesome
This turned out excellent for a low cal soup, the flavor was great. I used napa cabbage in place of bok choy and would add bamboo shoots next time. I also created a small amount of gravy with the broth and added it back to thicken the soup, just a preference. I will absolutely make again.
