<IngredientText>This quick and easy soup is a perfect winter treat. The hot and the
sour can be adjusted to your own taste by adjusting the vinegar
and soy up or down for the sour, and you can add more pepper
for a higher heat level. White Pepper is traditional for Hot and
Sour Soup, but we love the flavor the freshly ground black pepper
brings to the mix. If you like a thicker soup, feel free to thicken with
arrowroot or cornstarch.</IngredientText>
