I don't usually use my time commenting on the recipes I've tried, but I have to for this soup! It was absolutely one of the worst things I've ever made! Seriously, Really, Really Bad! Soups are my specialty, so I know I should have guessed that it would be bad, with mostly canned ingredients. The only good thing that came out of making this soup is the knowledge of how to swirl fine egg strands into soup, which would come in handy if you're trying to make some oriental wonton soup.

The missing ingredient to make this soup spicy is ground white pepper. You'll probably need to add at least 1-2 tsp.

I don't see anything in the list of ingredients that would make the soup "hot". The version we get at our local take-out makes your eyes water, but it's soooo good. This recipe sounds like it could be good though, maybe I'll try adding some red pepper flake. Any other ideas?
