Hot and Sour Soup

Soup is more of a warm and comforting indulgence for me rather than a 'diet' food.I always have soup as a starter so that Im almost full and can then limit the amount of rice or noodles later on,its not just that but mostly because I love soups of all kinds but my first choice will def be a nice Chinese soup.
