About this product
Hot and sour soup sits firmly in Indo-Chinese territory, and this mix is built for that specific flavour direction — tangy first, from the vinegar and pepper notes in the blend, with a building heat that comes through a few seconds after the sourness rather than hitting all at once. Mushroom and vegetable powders form the base alongside the spice blend, giving it a savoury backbone under the tang rather than the soup tasting purely sharp and sour.
It's built as a quick hot-water mix like the rest of our soup range, but this one benefits from a couple of extras if you have them on hand — a few drops of soy sauce or a handful of chopped spring onion stirred in at the end pushes it closer to a proper restaurant-style hot and sour, since the base mix is intentionally not oversalted to leave room for that kind of adjustment.
Of our three soup mixes, this is the one built for a specific mood rather than an everyday default — it's the soup to reach for on a rainy evening or when you specifically want the sinus-clearing pepper kick rather than something mild and comforting. If you found the classic cream mix too gentle, this is the direction to go next.
