Take-Out Fake-Out Hot and Sour Soup

This hot and sour soup takes exactly like you would find it in a restaurant. Click the link for a cooking demo.

I definitely outdid myself here! This hot and sour soup tastes just as good if not better than what you would get at a restaurant. The best part is there is no flour to act as a thickener, less salt in a restaurant, and I amped up the veggie game to make this a healthy, hearty, grounding dish.
