• Vietnamese soups are enjoyed throughout the meal, not just at the start, which means you may always go back for more as long as some is left. You use the same bowl for soup that you use for rice, so don't set aside the soup bowl when it is empty. In fact, it is a Viet tradition to ladle canh into a bowl containing a little rice. This practice of eating canh voi com (soup with rice) arose in times of hardship when meager diets consisted mostly of rice. Flavoring it with soup got people to consume more rice, which made them feel fuller. Nowadays, with food scarcity less of a concern for many people, canh still tastes good with a little rice in the bowl.
