Hot and Sour Soup

[fkj2]

I read in Graedon's People's Pharmacy that Hot and Sour Soup may help alleviate a migraine. Does anyone have a good recipe for it? Thanks.

Wow! That's one I hadn't heard...DD has been battling with a transformed migraine for more than 2 yrs now. I don't know where you're at with trying meds, but her doctors started her on Petadolex around Christmas. It seems to be making a difference for her if you want to read about it & talk to your doctor.

DH & I love Hot & Sour Soup at the restaurant (DD not so much) and I looked up recipes last year thinking I'd try it here at home. I never tried any of them because they vary so much I wasn't sure what would be a good one! Some call for weird ingredients & others sound more "normal"...but then would they taste right? LOL

If you ever find one to try, let us know. And if you want, I could post the recipes I copied down without trying...just let me know.

Hey Deb,

I'm not the one with the headaches, a good friend gets them. (His sister gets them even worse.)

Graedons People's Pharmacy also just printed a column advocating megadoses of Vitamin B2 to relieve rebound headaches.

I'll keep an eye open for the hot and sour soup.

This one looks pretty easy and has most of the ingredients that I have seen the Chinese restaurants by me use:
