One easy soup I want to introduce today is Green Gourd Soup with Fresh Prawns (Canh Bí Tôm Tươi). From many Vietnamese Soup Recipes, I think this dish is really suitable in hot days, especially when summer is coming soon. The natural sweetness from prawns will create a fantastic flavor for your soup broth.
