Thai hot and sour soup

Our Hot and Sour Soup is prepared in the style of north-east Thailand. It reminds me of my mothers kitchen when I was young when visitors came and the big feast began. Back then my mum would lightly scorch all the spices to give more aromatic and the smells would waft thought the house. There are a few versions of this soup depending on your taste.
