I personally find that Chinese soup is very complex and not to my liking. But somehow or rather, I began to appreciate this soup when I started out cooking. Because I get to choose what kinda ingredients I am gonna use. I discard the dogma of preparing this soup with a pork base and used mushrooms for my base. This is my Chinese version of mushroom soup, you can call it that way. This soup is also 100% vegetarian. You can make this vegan by omitting the egg and some of the sauces. I do not know if they are vegan friendly tho. You can definitely replace them with homemade chili oil and chili bean sauce. You can also replace soy sauce with tamari sauce. Another reason why I had learn to appreciate this soup is it is spicy, sour, savory (even tho there's no meat) and it is hearty. This will definitely keep me warm in those cold weather and season. I hope it will keep you cozy this festive season as well.
