Notes
Last night we needed comfort food. Not everyone would consider hot and sour soup comfort food but I do. I ended up modifying this recipe from Budget Bytes a little bit but not too much. It was SO good. I didn’t have cabbage on hand so I did add that to mind but I know it would be a great addition so I left it in my recipe here. Hot and sour soup doesn’t normally have noodles, but we had them and it sound good so I added and it was delicious, but you could definitely have delicious soup without the noodles. This got a resounding two thumbs up for Micah who put one of his thumbs down and picked up a spoon to pose for me.
mmmm good
