Hi Jessica. Thank you for asking your mom..I think I put too many lily flowers in the soup. That is the only ingredient that I didn’t follow your recipe exactly. I used the entired packaged. The next time, I will go easy on them to see if that is it.

Diem, I asked my mom about it and neither of us can figure out what would make the soup bitter. Did you use an artificial sweetener in place of the sugar?

Jessica, I have a question please. I made this soup last week and even though it was very good. I notice that there was this slight bitter almost taste to the soup. Is it because of the lily flowers? I can’t think of any other ingredients that would give that flavor. Maybe I put too many in the soup?

I use chili garlic sauce as the heat in mine. But I will have to try your version.

This looks so delicious, Jessica! I don’t eat meat other than seafood so the only way I can usually enjoy this type of soup is to make it myself.

Loren, so glad you enjoyed this soup. I just made another pot tonight because the first pot got eaten up way too fast. =)

Hi, sorry i wrote this a few days back but didn’t get posted, the hot and sour soup in chinese restaurants look the same Jessica. Not so much mushrooms though. More like ginger juliennes and stuff
