Step 1
In a pot, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add 2 tbsp tamarind paste and stir until dissolved.
Step 2
Thinly slice 1 medium onion and add to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Slice 2 red chili peppers (remove seeds for less heat) and add to the soup. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the broth is fragrant and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Stir in 1 tsp salt, adjusting to taste. The soup should be tangy and savory.
Step 5
Chop 0.5 cup cilantro and stir into the soup just before serving. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
