“Fairytale” The Sagrada Familia was one of t “Fairytale” 

The Sagrada Familia was one of the most magical of all our experiences in Barcelona.

I planned our visit for the early evening, trying to time it to golden hour when we had the best chance of strong sun rays streaming through the stained glass windows at just the right angle for the light to dance across the cathedral in the riotous display of color it’s known to create. 

While instead we had mostly overcast skies, nothing could detract from the beauty and intricacy of the design. It was truly breathtaking and as I ran towards it I truly felt like I was stepping into a fairytale.

The Sagrada Familia cathedral is a must-visit in Barcelona and by far one of Barcelona’s top attractions. Aim to go first thing in the morning (the earliest tickets you can get) or late in the afternoon for optimal light. I’d say you’re likely to have fewer crowds too, but honestly no matter what time you go it will be crowded.
I spent so much time researching and planning our I spent so much time researching and planning our trip to Cape Town, and there were still things I learned and would change if we had a do-over!

Learn from my mistakes and make sure you follow these tips for your next trip…

1️⃣ Believe the people who tell you the Table Mountain hike is hard! Unless you are an experienced hiker and in excellent shape, take cable car up and down. Don’t waste a half day on the hike, it’s not so scenic that you’re missing much if you skip it - the magic is in the views at the top so get there in the most efficient way you can to spend the most time at the top.

2️⃣ If you’re going to visit Bo Kaap, sign up for a guided tour so you can get the most out of this historical and culturally significant neighborhood. When we went on our own we were surprised to find that the colorful houses you see all over Instagram are really just one short block, and honestly taking pictures felt really icky and performative. If you’re going to check out this neighborhood make sure it’s not just to check a box! 

3️⃣ Cape Town can practice electricity load-shedding, when this happens it means certain areas lose power at certain times to distribute demand for electricity. Definitely research if this is going on during your visit and what the schedules are. It’s less impactful if you are staying at a hotel, as they usually have generators, but if you plan to stay at an AirBnB it’s wise to know when your power might be shut off. We lost power from 2AM-4AM and were not prepared with fans when it got super hot without A/C.

4️⃣ Don’t skip Kirstenbosch gardens!! We ended up cutting it from our itinerary because the Table Mountain hike took so long and was so taxing (trust me, don’t do it) and it’s my biggest regret from Cape Town. 

5️⃣ Don’t be like me and try to visit 4 wineries in a day 😂 trust me, 3 will be plenty and this way you’ll have enough time to actually enjoy one. We felt pretty rushed and wished we had more time at 2 of the ones we visited (in particular Delaire Graff was spectacular!)
There is so much to see and do in Thailand, it’d There is so much to see and do in Thailand, it’d be impossible to cover it all in one trip but I’ve done my very best 😂 on JessOBSESSED.com you’ll find Bangkok and Chiang Mai itineraries, plus a review of the BEST hidden gem luxury hotel in the Thai islands that I promise you haven’t heard of yet!

Homemade Hot and Sour Soup (Gluten-Free)

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This authentic Chinese homemade hot and sour soup recipe is 100% gluten-free, easy to make with vegetarian options and is a healthier but equally delicious recipe to satisfy any Chinese takeout craving!

For the most part, going 100% gluten-free has been an easy transition. I can get most of my favorite foods in gluten-free form and there has been a huge upswing in delicious, high-quality gluten-free menu items at most restaurants.

But, there are a few things I really miss. Greasy, cheesy late-night pizza, for one. And restaurant-style Chinese takeout, for another.

Better Than Takeout Homemade Hot And Sour Soup (Gluten-Free)

I used to LOVE classic Chinese restaurant buffets and takeout. Sunday night takeout from the local Chinese restaurant was a huge treat growing up, and it became a Sunday night “last supper” of sorts in my early twenties (diet starts Monday, right?). But the truth is I always felt gross after eating it, as delicious as it was, Chinese takeout is packed with sodium, MSG and other additives.

So when I went 100% gluten-free, I pretty much stopped eating Chinese food altogether. It was too hard to navigate menus to avoid soy sauce and other hidden sources of gluten. Gluten-free Chinese restaurant menus were few and far between. But I really miss it.

I’ve attempted to re-create a few of my favorite classic Chinese takeout menu items over the years, most successfully with my Sticky Asian Meatballs recipe and now with one of my absolute favorite Chinese dishes, hot and sour soup.

This hot and sour soup recipe is so delicious, filling and flavorful, it rivals any restaurant-style Chinese takeout soup!

Is Authentic Hot And Sour Soup Naturally Gluten-Free?

No, authentic hot and sour soup – like the kind you’d get in a Chinese restaurant – is not naturally gluten-free. It’s not gluten-free because a key ingredient in the soup is soy sauce.

Gluten can be hidden in chili garlic sauce, sambal olek or chili paste, depending on what type is used.

That’s why I was so excited to create this recipe! By using gluten-free soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos, this homemade hot and sour soup recipe is completely gluten-free. This means you can enjoy hot and sour soup even if you have a gluten allergy, sensitivity or Celiac disease.

Is Hot And Sour Soup Healthy?

Hot and sour soup from an Americanized Chinese restaurant – the classic takeout option – is not really healthy. Super high in sodium, possibly filled with all kinds of additives and MSG…while it might be tasty it’s definitely not high in nutritional value.

When you make this homemade hot and sour soup recipe, you can control the amount of salt, use fresh spices and seasoning (no MSG!) and add lots of fresh vegetables. That’s why this homemade hot and sour soup is a healthier alternative to classic Chinese takeout. Best of all, it only takes 20 minutes to make!

Tips For Making Gluten-Free Hot And Sour Soup – Ingredients and Substitutions

It may seem like homemade hot and sour soup requires a lot of ingredients, but this recipe is flexible and customizable so you can easily work with whatever you have on hand to make substitutions.

The key ingredients for a flavorful hot and sour soup are:

  • Vinegar: Vinegar is the key to the sour flavor in the soup, and authentic hot and sour soup is made with rice vinegar. But, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar (just use ACV sparingly, it has a stronger vinegar flavor)
  • Mushrooms: Mushrooms help provide the earthy, chewy texture in this hot and sour soup recipe. I like to use shitake mushrooms for an authentic texture, but you can sub wood ear, white button mushrooms or baby bellas. The most traditional hot and sour soup recipes use dried shitake mushrooms (and dried lily flowers), but I don’t like the texture of them. I find dried shitake mushrooms are too chewy for me, even after soaking.
  • Arrowroot slurry: The arrowroot powder slurry thickens the soup, but if you don’t have arrowroot powder you can sub cornstarch.
  • Coconut aminos: I use coconut aminos (I like Coconut Secret) because that’s my preferred gluten-free soy sauce substitute, but you can use regular soy sauce if not gluten-free, gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
  • Eggs: The eggs form ribbons as you slowly stir them into the soup. If you are egg-free you could certainly make hot and sour soup without eggs and it will still be a delicious, flavorful soup, but the soup won’t have the same texture. I do not recommend egg substitutes (like flax or chia eggs) for this recipe. Best to leave out the eggs altogether.
  • Meat and tofu: Classic hot and sour soup calls for shredded, julienned or thinly sliced pork. You can easily substitute chicken or beef, or omit completely and just use tofu to make a vegetarian hot and sour soup. If using tofu, make sure to get firm or extra firm tofu, otherwise it will fall apart in the soup.
  • Vegetables: I like to use the traditional vegetables of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, but you could easily use any vegetables you have on hand – just try to use crispy or chewy ones to maintain the same texture profile. I would suggest carrots and/or cabbage as good vegetable substitutions.
  • Chili flavor: There are multiple ingredients you could use to get the spicy, red chili flavor in traditional hot and sour soup. I use sambal olek, because it’s what I usually have on hand but you can easily make a 1-to-1 substitution with red chili paste, srriracha, or chili garlic sauce. If you like a really spicy soup, finish the soup with a drizzle of chili oil!
  • White pepper: Authentic hot and sour soup calls for white pepper, which has more distinct flavor but you can absolutely use regular black pepper if that’s what you have on hand.

How To Make Gluten-Free Hot And Sour Soup

The best part about homemade hot and sour soup is how easy it is to make! This soup doesn’t need to simmer for hours on the stove, all the ingredients combine and cook quickly so you can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!

To make gluten-free hot and sour soup, you cook the meat, if using, to build flavor in the saucepan, and then bring all the broth ingredients to a boil. Then you add the vegetables, tofu and meat back, and let simmer for a few minutes until vegetables start to get soft and meat is warmed through.

To thicken the soup, you add the arrowroot or cornstarch slurry, and then slowly stir in the egg to form ribbons.

And voila! You have a hearty, flavorful and healthy hot and sour soup that’s as good as any restaurant-style Chinese takeout!

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 lb shredded pork, chicken or beef (omit if vegetarian)
  • 1 carton chicken, beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 eggs
  • 8 oz shitake mushrooms (or other mushrooms)
  • 1 can bamboo shoots
  • 1 package extra firm tofu
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar (plus more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sambal olek, srriracha or chili garlic sauce (more to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper
  • 2 tbsp minced or grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot or cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablepsoons water
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2-3 tbsp green onion, chopped for garnish

Recipe Instructions

  • Heat sesame oil in a saucepan, add 1 shredded pork (or beef or chicken) and cook through, transfer to a plate and set aside. Skip this step for vegetarian.
  • While the meat cooks, thinly slice the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, tofu, and ginger (or grate ginger).
  • If the saucepan is dry from the pork, add more oil and add ginger, sautee until fragrant, 30 seconds or so.
  • Add broth to saucepan and bring to a boil. Add rice vinegar, coconut aminos or soy sauce, brown sugar, srriacha or sambal olek or chili garlic sauce and bring back to a boil.
  • Reduce to a simmer and add tofu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and pork. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes or so until mushrooms start to soften slightly and pork is warmed through.
  • Add arrowroot slurry and stir until soup starts to thicken, 1-2 minutes.
  • Crack eggs into a bowl and lightly beat. Drizzle eggs into soup slowly, stirring constantly to form ribbons.

Serve immediately with extra sambal olek, drizzle of sesame oil or chili oil and garnish with green onions (optional).

Gluten-free hot and sour soup will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

Where is the best STREET FOOD you've ever had? T Where is the best STREET FOOD you've ever had? 

The street food in Thailand was by far the best I have ever had. JB agrees now but he was so nervous to eat in Thailand because everyone freaked him out with travel tales of getting sick off street food! He couldn't believe how adventurous I was ready to be trying all different street foods (being careful about avoiding gluten of course!) because I'm usually the picky restaurant eater between the two of us 😂

But food + travel is my greatest passion and joy in life and I think enjoying local, authentic foods in new cities is one of the best ways to explore and get a feel for the local culture. Planning my meals when traveling takes up about 90% of the research I do! 

If you know what to look for and are careful you should be 100% fine tasting all the delicious street food all over the world! 

This is some of the best pad thai I've ever had, on Yaowarat street in Bangkok's Chinatown. I organized a street food tour through Bangkok Food Tours and it was EPIC! They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy and were so nice, flexible and knowledgeable. We loved talking to our guide about the food just as much as we enjoyed eating it. Read all about it by searching "Bangkok" on  JessObsessed.com!
