Pig Skin Tofu Sour Soup

Pig Skin Tofu Sour Soup

This savory and comforting Pig Skin and Tofu Soup is a delightful blend of textures and flavors, perfect for warming up on a chilly day. Softened pig skin, tender tofu cubes, and fragrant onions come together in a rich, slightly tangy broth sweetened with sugar and seasoned with vinegar, salt, and pepper. The magic happens when beaten eggs are swirled in, creating silky egg flowers, while a starch-thickened sauce adds the perfect consistency. A finishing touch of fresh green onions or crisp celery brightens each spoonful. Quick to prepare yet deeply satisfying, this soup is ideal for a light yet nourishing meal—especially when you need something to soothe and invigorate. Enjoy the subtle heat and comforting warmth with every bite!
