Samlor machu (
Khmer : សម្លម្ជូរ – 'sour soup') is a
Khmer term for a category of
sour soups .
The sour flavour of the soup comes from the use of
tamarind (អម្ពិល ), however variations also include other tangy fruits and vegetables such as
tomatoes (ប៉េងប៉ោះ ),
pineapples (ម្នាស់ ),
water spinach (ត្រកួន ),
leaf celery , as well as
Tiliacora triandra leaves (ស្លឹកវល្លិយាវ ).
[2]
Meat in this type of soup is usually that of either chicken, fish,
pork ,
beef , lobster or crab. In the U.S. and
Canada , instead of using fresh tamarind like in
Cambodia , a powdered tamarind soup base mix is also used by the diaspora. One popular brand is manufactured by
Knorr .

Types
There are many types of Khmer sour soups such as:
Samlor machu ktis (សម្លរម្ជូរខ្ទិះ ) with pork, pineapple and
coconut milk .
