Canh khoai môn — Vietnamese taro soup — is earthy, hearty, and deeply comforting. Made with taro root slow-cooked until it melts into a thick, starchy broth with pork ribs or pork belly, this is the kind of soup that makes you close your eyes on the first sip. The taro gives it a natural creaminess, the pork adds depth, and the garnish of scallions and cilantro adds freshness. It's home cooking at its most satisfying — the dish that Vietnamese grandmothers make when the weather turns cold.
