Canh Chua (Sweet and Sour Tamarind Soup)

Canh Chua (sweet and sour tamarind soup) is a traditional Vietnamese soup from the Mekong Delta region. It's distinguished by its three distinct flavors: sour, sweet, and savory. With a sour flavor, the soup includes seafood (eel, shrimp, snakehead, and catfish), tomatoes, okra, pineapple, tamarind, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs.
