Low Carb Chinese Hot & Sour Soup

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Pretty close to the standard Chinese-American Hot and Sour Soup found in most restaurants except for a few things. A) Missing Black Wood Ear Mushrooms B) Missing eggs blended into the broth (like ribbons) C) Missing dried lily buds (flower aka Gum Jum Choi) D) The water chestnuts are a wonderful addition but not usually found in the traditional method. E) Chili-Garlic Sauce isn't traditional but I'm sure it tastes good (meaning it's fine or add some crushed red pepper instead though also not traditional). F) In China the most basic uses either water as the base or vegetable stock. Chicken or Beef stocks make a wonderful addition though not traditional. Now for the "Low-Carb" issues (problems) 1) Replace Soy Sauce with Tamari Sauce (Byproduct of making Miso which is made from fermented soybeans with NO wheat). Naturally wheat free so it is gluten free as well. 2) Most in the Keto and Low Carb crowd don't approve of highly inflammatory refined seed and legume oils so no sesame, peanut, soy, canola, etc. Use Avocado, Olive, Coconut, Butter, Lard, Tallow, etc. 3)Absolutely NO Corn Starch, Rice Starch, etc. is to be used in keto/low-carb foods. Use Egg Yolks, Guar Gum, Thick It Up by Dixie Diner, etc. Be careful using Arrowroot as well since it can quickly add up to too many carbs.
