Coconut Lime Fish Soup

A refreshing and savory fish soup that blends coconut milk and lime juice, perfect for any time of the year.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
  • 1 can Coconut milk (full-fat recommended for creaminess)
  • 4 cups Vegetable or fish broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 Onion, diced (sweet or yellow onion works well)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced (freshly minced is best)
  • 1 Lime, juiced (adjust acidity to taste)
  • 1 inch Ginger, minced (adds depth to the flavor)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (use fresh cracked pepper for best flavor)
  • Cilantro for garnish (fresh adds a vibrant flavor)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the minced ginger and cook for one more minute to release its aroma.
  3. Pour in the broth and coconut milk; bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the fish fillets to the pot and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, ensuring they’re cooked through.
  5. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Adjust lime juice based on your taste. For heat, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
