This delicious soup is inspired by Pork Sinigang (Sinigang Na Baboy) that I first tasted in the Philippines. It is full of vegetables and the lemon juice gives it a very interesting depth of flavor. If you like lemon you should enjoy this lemon flavored soup. The lemon grass and ginger are optional, the soup is still good without them. If you can’t find the daikon radish make it with just the rutabaga. Fish sauce can be found in the oriental section of many markets or in oriental food stores but you can use salt instead. Discard the lemon grass, ginger, and hot peppers, they are for flavor.
