Seven soups every Saturday: restaurant favorite Chinese soup recipes
Where I come from -- culturally and geographically -- on Christmas, everyone went out for Chinese food and a movie, and despite the fact that my own household celebrates all holidays, there's a part of me that will forever associate Christmas with wonton soup and shrimp lo mein. The restaurant in our New Jersey suburban town specialized in the big three Chinese-American soup favorites -- wonton, egg drop, and hot and sour -- but even after we moved to the suburbs, we often drove to New York's Chinatown, with its expansive soup options.

Happy holidays, everyone!
Yum! Wish I had time to make wontons this weekend. I always make or buy egg drop soup when it gets really cold or when I feel a head cold coming on. Nothing warms me up like egg drop soup....not even hot tea or cocoa.
Wonderful - Merry Christmas
Teresa, egg drop is my "chicken soup" of choice, too, though when I'm really stuffed up, I go for hot and sour soup, the hotter the better.
Satonahat, wish we were in Boston and closer to those Chinatown restaurants! Happy holidays to you too.
Happy holidays to you, Lydia, and to all your other faithful readers. I am glad to be able to add the Chinese soups to my collection as it is finally winter in Raleigh, NC altho it was 70 earlier in the week.
All the best
Happy Holidays Lydia!!!
Elle and Pam, thank you so much, and happy holidays to you!
So true! I come from the same cultural and geographical area and now that I live all the way across the country, this post was just what I needed to remind me of this sense of home. I would love some delicious hot and sour soup right now! Happy Holidays :)
Alyssa, it's a wonderful tradition and one that always brings me back to childhood. (Hot and sour is my favorite, too.)
What a delicious round up. Hope you're having a fabulous holiday season.
CJ, thanks so much. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season, too.
