Sweet And Sour Soup Recipes
Canh Chua Ca (Vietnamese Sweet and Sour Fish and Pineapple Soup)
Can chua cá literally means sour fish soup in Vietnamese.The composition of the soup is the Vietnamese equivalent of tom yum Thai soup. The sour flavor is from the kaffir lime leaf and tamarind powder and the sweetness is from the crushed pineapple.
Recently, I made this soup for our dinner guests. I served it with a side bowl of steamed jasmine rice. At the end of the meal, I was surprised to see all the bowls completely empty, given that the flavors are somewhat unusual. But they seemed to love it, so I'm guessing you might as well.

Vegetarian Tom Yum Thai Soup
Today was a very cold and rainy day in Northern California, the Asian New Year is coming and I don't think the family is going to attend any of the festivities because of the weather.
A couple of the girls are sick and I thought that a warm broth would do them good.
Thai soup is a very good first course if you want to do an Asian theme dinner. It's light and very tasty. The soup is an amazing contrast of spicy, sweet, savory and sour flavors.
Enjoy!
