The Vietnamese Soup Families Actually Eat at Home (Canh Chua Cá)

Canh Chua Cá is one of the most comforting soups in Vietnamese home cooking — but outside Vietnam, it’s still surprisingly underrated.

This bright, sweet-and-sour soup comes from the Mekong Delta and balances tamarind, pineapple, fresh herbs, and tender fish into one incredibly addictive broth. It’s the kind of dish that instantly makes you want another bowl of rice.

In Vietnamese family meals, Canh Chua is often paired with rich dishes like Thịt Kho because the light, tangy broth helps refresh your palate. Every household has their own version, but today I’m sharing the way my family likes to make it.

In this video I’ll show you how to make Canh Chua Cá (Vietnamese sweet and sour fish soup) at home using simple ingredients while still keeping that authentic balance of flavors.
