About This Dish

Hot and Sour Soup is the only soup Panda Express serves and the most overlooked item on the menu: a peppery, vinegar sharp broth with tofu, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and egg ribbons, 170 calories a serving, sold a la carte at a store set price. It is the one thing on the line that eats like a course rather than a snack.

The balance is what the name promises: white pepper brings the heat and rice vinegar the sourness, with neither winning outright. The broth is thickened just enough to coat a spoon, so it carries the tofu and bamboo shoots rather than letting them sink. Egg ribbons run through it in threads. It arrives properly hot, and on a cold day it is a better opener than anything fried in the store.

Hot and Sour Soup calories are 170 with 10 g of protein, 20 g of carbs and 6 g of fat. For a filling starter that is a modest cost, cheaper in calories than any fried appetizer here. Sodium is the honest catch at 1,260 mg, high as broths generally are. Published flags cover wheat, soy, egg and sesame.

How much is Hot and Sour Soup? Stores set the price with no national figure published, and it is served in a single cup size.

It suits cold days, light meals and anyone who wants to feel fed without adding a fried item. Pair it with a light Bowl such as Super Greens and Broccoli Beef at 150 calories to build a two course meal under 500 calories total, which is the most restrained full order this menu can produce. Chicken Potstickers at 160 calories are the natural companion when one course is not enough.
