 Like the BuffetsSep 06, 2008
By I. Inman

I have been trying to find a soup mix that replicates the buffet style hot and sour soup I love. This is as close as I have come. I have tried all the mixes, the other best is the harvest 2000 mix, now a difference is harvest brand is a mix (powder), this is a paste, I don't know if that makes a difference to anybody but it did to me.
Now for the soup, I made it like it said only ommitting the meat, I just didn't have any on hand and was excited to make the soup. Other than that I followed it closely. It taste close after making it, just a little off of my local buffet soups, so I asked a friend that actually owns a Chinese Buffet and is Chinese, he asked the ingrediants and suggested to add rice wine vinegar and white pepper to taste, I did and let me tell you it is fabulous.
Now I won't quit going out to eat Chinese, but I do feel good knowing if I just don't have time to go out after work or something I can still enjoy resteraunt quality soup at home, thanks to this soup paste, the packet looks like a mix but when you open it there is a small plastic packet with the paste inside.
It is very important to try before you add things, according to my friend no two chinese resteraunts make this soup the same way, they only have a few base ingrediants they build upon, different regions of the country are different and I agree after traveling it is different everywhere.
So my suggestion is to make the soup like it says, if it isn't right I suggest adding in small amounts rice vinegar and white pepper, only to taste both are pretty strong, so go slowly, I can guarantee after trying endless soup mixes and internet recipes,this is the closest I have ever come to my local buffet, it is really good.
Thrilled to have found this!Sep 28, 2011

Ever since my favorite Chinese buffet changed hands several years ago, I've searched for a similar hot-and-sour soup recipe. I've found some decent ones during the search, but none like theirs - until now. This one may not be exactly the same, but it's close enough to do - spicy with just a bit of a tang to it. Yum! So glad my search is over. Now if my grocery store and/or Amazon will just continue to carry this ......
Great Soup Mix!Aug 20, 2009

I didn't have any extra ingredients on hand, but I had Bok Choy and chicken so I went ahead and made the soup. It turned out great! It is a flavor paste that you squeeze out. It's hard to get that authenic Hot & Sour soup taste, but I think this soup packet gets it right on. My family loved it!! ...also no MSG!

Best availableMay 09, 2009
By KnotU
This stuff is good. I add some black fungus and dehydrated veggies from the local asian market. Add some celantro and green onions after it cooks. Perfection! Yes, it is spicey. That is why it is called hot and sour soup.

 Not the best taste and a time wasterMay 04, 2009
By Dmitry Sandler
Short on time? Don't like the idea of putting live coals in your mouth? Then this soup is not for you =)
- There's nothing in this package except for a thick spicy paste - no mushrooms, no veggies, not even a chicken broth or little pieces of chicken meat. All that you'll have to buy separately and add as you cook.
- Maybe I just expected too much from it but that's definitely not the kind of hot&sour soup I prefer. All you get is red burning lips and a feeling that you should probably give the rest 11 bags to your friends (maybe some of them will be able to feel any taste except the burn).
- My personal choice is Kikomn Egg Hot and Sour Soup - probably the most underrated on the Amazon, but it's really the best tasting one.
- The price is good though =) Two stars for that.
