This soup was amazing! The broth was so flavorful and the tofu was cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of the bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms. I will definitely be making this soup again soon!

I'm not a big fan of tofu, but I thought this soup was really good. The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this soup again, even without the tofu.

I thought this soup was just okay. The broth was a bit too spicy for my taste and the tofu was a little overcooked. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used less chili peppers.

I thought this soup was just okay. The broth was a bit too sour for my taste and the tofu was a little bland. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added more vegetables.

I've made this soup a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the soup is always nice and hot and sour. I usually add a little extra tofu and vegetables to make it a more substantial meal.

This hot and sour soup with tofu was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and tangy, and the tofu was perfectly cooked. We especially loved the addition of the bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms, which gave the soup a nice texture. We will
