Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 can 14 ounces coconut milk
  • 2 cups fish stock or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 pound white fish fillets such as cod or tilapia, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the diced red bell pepper to the pot and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and fish stock (or vegetable broth). Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, and lime zest. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the fish pieces and cherry tomatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
