CINDY'S THAI HOT AND SOUR SOUP

Cindy's Thai Hot and Sour Soup image

This is very good! It's worth it going to the Thai market to get the extra ingredients. I used to order this at a restaurant and I came home and come up with my own version of it. Everyone loves it that tries it. A lot of ingredients but very easy to make. Serve over rice!
