Wow this tastes as awful as it looks. There is zero flavor--It tastes like water and cornstarch. I suppose I could have quadrupled the seasoning and only add 4 cups of water instead of 7 and maybe the soup would be edible. But unfortunately, following the recipe had me create a whole pot of dishwater-soup that hopefully the garbage disposal won't throw back at me when I dump it.

Don't think I will ever make this again. Followed the recipe to the letter. It did taste like fish soup, but there was no "hot and sour". I tried adding more balsamic vinegar after the fact but that didn't help. I tried reheating it later. Still tastes like fish soup...

I would make this again with some minor adjustments. I thought the soup was a bit too thick, so I would use less cornstarch next time. I also doubled the amount of ginger. For the flavor, I used 2 tbsp of soy sauce instead of one, and that made a big difference. My husband added a spicy oil to his serving, and that came out pretty awesome.

I agree about the serving information...I got 6 very hearty servings out of the soup. It is so delicious and refreshing. I added a couple teaspoons of crushed red peppers too, just to up the "heat" on the taste. Too bad my husband doesn't like fish and my daughter doesn't like spicy....more for me!

I'm not sure if the serving information is correct because I made it and had enough for 6 or 8 people after I made it, however it was great! The only adjustments I made were more pepper and more vinegar, both of which are a matter of taste. Still, this is a wonderful soup and leftovers are even better.
