Hot and sour soup
Also called: hot and sour soup, hot & sour soup, hot n sour soup, hot-sour soup, hot and sour soop, hot 'n' sour soup, hot & sour shorba, hot and sour veg soup
Hot and sour soup is that comforting Indo-Chinese bowl you order when you want something light but still full of flavour. You’ll spot it in restaurant dinners, office canteens, or as a starter before fried rice or noodles — spicy, tangy, and just the right kind of chatpata.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 soup bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This soup brings a nice mix of veggies like cabbage, carrots, capsicum, mushrooms, spring onion, and bean sprouts, so you get some fiber and a bit of gut-friendly plant variety in each bowl. Ginger, pepper, and green chilli can help wake up digestion and make the soup feel lighter on the stomach, while vinegar gives that sharp sour kick. The egg and chicken add protein, so it feels more filling than a regular clear soup. One thing to watch is the sodium from soy sauce, chilli sauce, and seasoning — if you're having it often, ask for less soy sauce or make it at home with more veggies and less packet seasoning.
