Hanoi Tomato Beef Soup with Vietnamese Coriander
Tomato Beef Soup with Vietnamese Coriander, known as “canh bò rau răm” in Vietnamese, is a rustic and traditional dish often enjoyed in family meals in Hanoi. This comforting soup features tender beef and tangy tomatoes, providing a delightful burst of flavors in every spoonful.
This quick and easy beef soup embodies the simplicity of Vietnamese home cooking. The bright, citrusy, and peppery taste of Vietnamese coriander (rau răm) gives it a distinctive flavor and aroma.
With a perfect balance of savory, tangy, and herbal notes, it is one of our most favorite Vietnamese tomato-based soups to serve with rice. We also love that it can be cooked in one pot from start to finish.
