Hot and Sour Tofu Soup



This spicy, guilt-free dish will warm your stomach. Knowing it’s meat-free will warm your heart.


1 1/2 quarts vegetable stock
15 medium-sized mushrooms, sliced thinly
10 oz. tofu, cut into small cubes
1 small can bamboo shoots
1 small can water chestnuts, halved
2 Tbsp. soya sauce
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1-2 tsp. hot sauce or to taste
2 Tbsp. white vinegar or to taste
2 garlic cloves, chopped
5 scallions (green onions, chopped)
1/4 cup peanuts (optional)


Heat stock to boiling. Add all other ingredients except scallions. Add peanuts if desired. Reheat to boiling and then immediately lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the scallions when the soup has about 5 minutes left to cook. Taste the soup and add more hot sauce, vinegar or soya sauce if desired.
