Chinese Hot and Sour Soup is a light meal or accompaniment eaten any time of day. My Taiwanese roomate in college used to prepare this hot and sour soup recipe for breakfast on occasion, and I heartily ate it up! This recipe is both vegetarian and vegan. Hot and sour soup is somewhat light, so feel free to add in some fried tofu or seitan.
