We've tried several recipes for this hot and sour soup and couldn't find one that resembled the one we liked at a restaurant. So, I made my own and I must say it is on par with what you'll find when dining out. Regular or hot chili sauce can be used, according to taste. -Vera Leitow, Mancelona, Michigan

Tips:

  • Choose ripe coconut: A ripe coconut will have a brown husk and a sweet, nutty flavor. Avoid coconuts that are green or have a sour smell.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your soup the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the soup hot: Hot and sour coconut soup is best served hot. You can reheat it if necessary, but it's best to eat it fresh.

Conclusion:

Hot and sour coconut soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp and it's also a good source of protein and vegetables. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
