Hot and Sour Soup

Total time: 10 minutes
   I don't know what it is about this simple soup that makes it so delicious.  Everyone who tastes it loves it.  I use a few slivered mushrooms or a bit of deli ham or smoked turkey for garnish.

 Ingredients:

• 3 cups (24oz, 720ml) chicken stock
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbs cornstarch
• 2 - 4 mushrooms or a bit of ham or smoked turkey as garnish

 Instructions:

• Clean mushrooms and cut each into thin slivers. 
• Heat 2 1/2 cups chicken stock to boiling. 
• Crack eggs into medium bowl and whisk lightly. 
• Dissolve cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock.  Add to boiling stock, stir until thickened and clear. 
• Add soy sauce and vinegar. 
• Pour in eggs, stir once or twice only. 
• Ladle into 2 bowls.  Sprinkle slivered mushrooms (and/or ham) on top and serve immediately.
