Vietnamese hot and sour soup with shrimp, called canh chua tôm, bursts with fresh, bright, contrasting flavors. This is our pantry-friendly version of that dish. Jalapeño chili provides the “hot” and lime juice brings the “sour.” Canned, frozen or fresh pineapple works well, so use whichever is most convenient or that you happen to have. Cilantro or bean sprouts added as a garnish really enhance this soup; top bowls with one or, even better, both.
