There are few things more comforting on a chilly evening than a bowl of perfectly simmered and seasoned soup. Easy or complicated, creamy or spicy, you simply can’t go wrong with soup during the winter.
“Once the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, there is nothing I crave more than a hearty bowl of soup,” says chef Antonio Park, Chopped Canada judge and restaurant owner. “The child of Korean parents, I grew up in Argentina before moving to Canada, so I tend to fuse tastes and concepts from parts of my unique background into my recipes,” he explains. Park's favourite bowls this season is Creamy Tomato Hot and Sour soup — try his mix of classic and tangy flavours below. Creamy Tomato Hot And Sour Soup Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 10 min Serves: 4 Ingredients: • 1 can (540 mL) Campbell's Ready to Serve Creamy Tomato Soup • 2 cups (500 mL) Campbell's Ready To Use No Salt Added Vegetable Broth • 1/2 cup (125 mL) shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced • 1 can (550 mL) bamboo shoots, thinly sliced • 1 cup (250 mL) firm tofu cut in 1/4” (0.6 cm) slices • 2 garlic cloves, grated • 2 tsp (10 mL) ginger, grated • 1 tbsp (15 mL) balsamic vinegar • 3 tbsp (45 mL) rice vinegar • 2 tsp (10 mL) sambal oelek • 2 tbsp (30 mL) tamari soy sauce • 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar • 4 medium green onions, sliced • 2 tsp (10 mL) black pepper • 2 eggs Directions: 1.
