Coconut Lime Fish Soup

 

Coconut Lime Fish Soup 🐟🍋🥥

📋 Ingredients:

1 lb white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock), cut into chunks

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

2 cups fish stock or vegetable broth

Juice of 2 limes

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Lime wedges, for garnish

👩‍🍳 Directions:

1️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

2️⃣ Create the Base: Pour in the coconut milk and fish stock, mixing well. Add lime juice, fish sauce, turmeric, and chili flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

3️⃣ Cook the Fish: Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering soup. Let it cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

4️⃣ Season and Finish: Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.

5️⃣ Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired.
