Thai Hot and Sour Soup

THE EASIEST THAI INFLUENCED HOT AND SOUR SOUP RECIPE

Sometimes you just need a little Thai food in your life.

And many times the prospect of cooking something outside our wheelhouse of easy favorites has us reaching for the phone to check the delivery apps.

Well, when it comes to this easy Asian soup recipe, you can safely put the phone down and roll your sleeves up. Because this simple hot & sour soup recipe is as easy as it gets!

We’re using chicken broth for a savory base – and adding dried chilis, fish sauce, lemon juice and a bit of sugar to really fortify that complex and delicious Thai flavor lexicon.

For substance, we like using sliced button mushrooms, shallots and firm tofu cutlets. Bonus if you can find smoked or fried tofu cutlets!

But, ultimately, what you use in your own homemade Thai soup is up to you. We make suggestions, you make decisions! It would be great with chicken or shrimp as well… your choice.

But no matter what protein you use, you’re going to love how easy it is to make this yummy Thai influenced soup in your rice cooker.

HOW TO MAKE HOT AND SOUR SOUP IN A RICE COOKER

To start, simply add the chicken broth, tofu, shallots, mushrooms and chilis into the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker.

Next, close the lid and select the Slow Cook setting for 40 minutes – and press the Start button.

Once the cooking cycle is complete, open the lid and add your fish sauce, sugar and lemon juice and stir well.

Serve with fresh basil and dig in!
