Tacacá (Brazilian Portuguese: [taka'ka]) is a soup common to North Brazil, particularly the states of Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, Amapá and Pará, where it is popular and widely consumed. It is made with jambu (a native variety of paracress), and tucupi (a broth made with wild manioc), goma de tapioca manioc), as well as dried shrimps and small yellow peppers. It must be served extremely hot in a cuia.
