We've got chili qeued up for tonight. But this made me think of a cold wintry day once upon a time when I ducked into a Chinese restuarant for a hot & sour soup. Boy oh boy that was comforting. Now I'm a life long fan.
There's another soup restaurant that I've been frequenting lately. It's a Korean place, and they serve a tofu soup that has meat or dumplings or shrimp (your pick) in it and comes with a separate bowl of purple-coloured rice that has been cooked with nuts and dates in it. It also comes with a raw egg that you break into your soup and stir around to make a sort of eg-drop effect. This stuff is really tastey and you can add heat to it (chili sauce) as well as the usual Korean side dishes (radishes, kimchee, sprouts etc). Cost? Every dish in this restaurant is $7.08.
go figure. But great for cold weather comfort.
