Comments: The tantalizing flavors in this soup make it one of the most famous of Sichuan's (Szechwan's) dishes. It is a soup full of strong, jostling flavors, typifying the culinary uniqueness of this region, which stresses the Five Flavors -- hot (chili, peppery hot) sour, salty, sweet, nutty. Originally a peasant soup, satisfying and filling, it is thick with bean curd, as Sichuan (Szechwan) is the home of the best bean curd in China. Today, this soup is regarded as a classic international dish that emerged from this great culinary region of China.
