Hot and Sour Soup

| Recipe by Bake with Paws
This is my hubby's favourite soup. I have been wanting to cook it for a while but I had not been able to cook it without the right Chinese black vinegar. I tried to cook before using a different black vinegar and it didn't turn out well. Instead of being sour, it become a little sweet. I got this Chinese black vinegar from a local sundry shop and this is the right one.
