While the soup is boiling, stir in the cornstarch paste, stirring continuously until thickened. Add more cornstarch mixture if needed.Simmer for 1 minute more and serve hot and sour spinach soup garnished with chopped green onions and coriander leaves.Serve Indo Chinese Hot and Sour Spinach Soup along with Indo Chinese Chicken Hakka Noodles for your weeknight dinner.
