This easy Chicken Hot and Sour Soup recipe is my homemade version of the soup found on the menu at many Chinese restaurants. The blend of heat from the spices is balanced with the tanginess of the rice vinegar.

Instructions
In a large saucepan combine the chicken broth, chicken, mushrooms, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low heat.
In a small bowl beat the egg. Drizzle the egg slowly into the cooking soup while gently stirring. This should create long strands of cooked egg. Continue to simmer for about 3 minutes.
1 large egg
Remove the soup from the heat and serve. Top the soup with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, sliced green onion and cilantro.
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 2 Green Onions, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
