Veg Hot & Sour Soup

To make Veg Hot & Sour Soup, start by preparing all your vegetables and ingredients. Heat a pot and add some oil, then sauté the chopped vegetables for a few minutes. Next, add water or vegetable stock and bring it to a boil. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and your preferred seasonings. Finally, add paneer cubes and let the soup simmer for a few minutes before adjusting the seasoning to taste and serving hot.

Veg Hot & Sour Soup can be made vegan by omitting the paneer cubes or substituting them with tofu or a plant-based protein. Additionally, ensure that the soy sauce and other ingredients you use are vegan-friendly.

If you don't have paneer on hand or prefer a different option, you can substitute it with tofu, seitan, or even chickpeas for added protein. These alternatives will still provide a satisfying texture and complement the flavors of the soup.

To store leftover Veg Hot & Sour Soup, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing the soup in portions, which can last for up to 2-3 months. Just remember to reheat it thoroughly before serving.

Veg Hot & Sour Soup pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. You can serve it alongside spring rolls, fried rice, or vegetable dumplings for a complete meal. It also complements a light salad or can be enjoyed as a starter before a main course.
