HOT And SOUR Soup - An Indo CHINESE Favourite
I love Chinese food and this Indo Chinese recipe for Hot Sour soup is my favorite! Indo Chinese food is the cuisine made by Chinese immigrants that have lived in India for generations and have adapted their cuisine to the Indian palate. A large population of India are Vegetarians, so the Veggie version of this soup is almost as popular as its non veg counterpart. You can so easily make this a Vegetarian version of this by just omitting the Chicken and using a veggie stock.
