Thicken and Garnish
Serve
Add cooked shredded chicken, shrimp, or a whisked egg (stirred in slowly to create ribbons) during the last few minutes of simmering for extra protein.
Turn it into a more substantial meal by adding pre-cooked noodles like ramen, udon, or rice vermicelli to the bowls before ladling the hot soup over them.
For a more pronounced 'hot and sour' flavor, increase the amount of rice vinegar and red chili sauce or add a dash of sriracha and a swirl of chili oil before serving.
Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced mushrooms, baby corn, snow peas, or bok choy along with the carrots and capsicum.

One serving (about 1.5 cups) contains approximately 150-180 calories, making it a light and nutritious option. The exact count depends on the specific brands of sauces and broth used.
Firm or extra-firm tofu is recommended as it holds its shape well. Silken or soft tofu can also be used, but it will break apart more easily, resulting in a different texture. Add it gently at the very end of cooking if you use a softer variety.
To make this soup gluten-free, simply substitute the regular soy sauce with tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce. All other ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten-free.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through. The soup may thicken slightly upon cooling; you can add a splash of water or broth to adjust the consistency when reheating.
