Mmm...I also wish I can have a bowl of your delicious soup. Looks better that the restaurants :)
Ha, your husband doesn't know what he's missing! I guess many people don't want to eat what is unfamiliar to them.
I think it's funny so many people complain about msg, but it's in so many things!
You have a ang mo hubby... I can relate to this one.. Thanks for the recipe, I will sure make this soup for my hubby, who happen to like hot and sour soup from Chinese restaurant...
I LOVE your blogs!!! I'm Chinese-American and I miss good old food, that my grandparents use to make. I'm from Long Island, NY, too. And my husband is caucasian, so he really doesn't "crave" this food that I LOVE. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes.
You have a WONDERFUL blog!
I've came across lots of recipe of hot and sour soup, but I have not cook it before. You've made my hands itchy...I must cook it at least once, haha...
Same with my hubs, hot and sour soup is his fav too. I will definitely make this...looks so much more appetizing. Thanks!
