Hot and Sour Soup (Potage Pékinois) - Chinese Soup with Chicken, Black Mushrooms and Bamboo Shoots

Hot and sour soup, which we call potage pékinois (“Peking soup”) in France, is one of the most popular Chinese soups in Chinese restaurants, along with wonton soup. It’s a thick, exotic broth that warms you up on cold evenings and can make a full meal on its own. I also like to serve it as a starter for a Chinese dinner, with spring rolls on the side and chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots.
