A variety of soup recipes and suggestions.

Sorrel soup

A simple soup particularly popular in Eastern European countries. It is normally made with sorrel, water and salt. Other ingredients, such as potatoes or beaten eggs,can be added. The soup is usally served with hard-boiled eggs or sour cream.

Hot and sour soup

The hot and sour soup represents a balance of contrasting flavors, where the vinegar's sourness is balanced with the chili's heat, similar to the balance of yin and yang.

The soup is customarily consumed during the winter months due to its warming properties.  It's also particularly popular during Chinese New Year celebrations due to the belief that sour foods cleanse the body and help usher in a fresh start.
