Hot & Sour Soup — Veg
A popular Indo-Chinese classic, Veg Hot & Sour Soup is a bold, appetizing soup known for its perfect balance of spicy heat and tangy zest. Packed with crunchy fresh vegetables and fragrant seasonings, this soup is a favorite choice for warming up on a cold day or as a lively starter to an Asian meal.

The base is a light, flavorful broth made with soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and black or white pepper, delivering a punchy, mouthwatering taste. Crisp vegetables like carrots, cabbage, capsicum (bell peppers), mushrooms, and spring onions are finely shredded and simmered until just tender yet still slightly crunchy. Sometimes tofu is added for extra body and protein.

A swirl of cornflour slurry thickens the soup lightly, giving it a silky texture, while green chilies or chili sauce add the signature heat. A splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon finishes it off with a refreshing sour note.

Served steaming hot and garnished with fresh spring onions or chopped coriander, Veg Hot & Sour Soup is light yet satisfying — the perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and savory flavors in every comforting spoonful.
