     Today I am going to write about how to make Chinese style HOT and SOUR Vegetable SOUP, It's healthy and delicious and will make you full for longer .

  Soups are of many types, they are  primarily liquid food, generally served warm or hot (but may be cool or cold), that is made by combining ingredients like vegetables with stock, juice, water, or another liquid. Hot soups are additionally characterized by boiling solid ingredients in liquids in a pot until the flavors are extracted, forming a broth.

               Today there are varieties of dry soup powders in the market but I prefer  making fresh from vegetables and they give you that much need warmness in winters. It's good even for kids because they love Chinese but don't like to eat vegetables, for them it's an healthy option.
