Hot & Sour Soup - Great for any day!

     Do you like a soup that wakes you up and fills you up?  This one does!  You can control the 'spicy' factor bowl by bowl if needed/wanted too.   I had never attempted to make this soup myself.  This was a soup I didn't find available often and usually waited to 'order out' when possible.  My friends Mom made the 'best' version of this and I thought, if I am going to attempt this - I need to get it right!   I knew there was tofu in the soup but, never really registered what kind or even that there were "kinds" to choose. I promise, if you put aside your distaste for tofu and make this soup as written that you will like it.  I've tried changing the ingredients around and in the end, the original version I am sharing with you here - wins out every time.  Try it - you'll like it - even my husband likes it and yes, he is picky AND his name is Mikey!
