Hot and Sour Mushroom Soup

Great tasting on a cold winter day.
This is low fat and has no meat.
I learned how to make this soup from
one of my friends that worked in a
Chinese restaurant many years ago.
This is easy to make and very good.

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
2 cups fresh chopped mushrooms
table salt to taste
black pepper to taste
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 cups shredded fresh carrots
2 teaspoons lemon juice
chopped dried chives for garnish
zest of one lemon for garnish
cooked egg noodles if desired

Directions:
In a large soup pot place oil, garlic
and mushrooms to brown them a little.
Add in chicken stock and all other
ingredients except garnishes.
Simmer for about 1 hour and then
garnish and serve warm, enjoy!
I serve this with cooked egg noodles.
