Equipment

  • large thick-bottomed pot
  • cutting board
  • thermometer
  • Tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil or other neutral oil
  • 0.5 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 2-inch nub ginger thinly sliced or minced
  • 1 14-oz can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1 to 2 tablespoon red curry paste adjust to spice preference
  • 2 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes chopped
  • 10 oz white fish fillets cod, halibut, or tilapia recommended
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

For Serving

  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for extra tang
  • Green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the avocado oil in a large, thick-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, continuing to sauté for a few more minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped tomatoes. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a full boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add the fish fillets to the pot and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  • Use tongs to carefully remove the fish fillets from the pot and place them on a cutting board. Break the fillets into smaller pieces using a fork. Then return the fish to the soup.
  • Stir everything well to combine, and serve the soup in bowls. Top with fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, and lime wedges.

Notes

This aromatic coconut lime fish soup is the perfect balance of rich creaminess and zesty lime. Top with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of crusty bread for a comforting meal.
