Coconut Lime Fish Soup: A Tropical, Flavor-packed Delight

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and minced ginger, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is soft.
Add the Spices and Broth:

Stir in the red curry paste (if using), turmeric, cumin, and coriander, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ aromas.
Pour in the coconut milk and fish stock (or vegetable broth), stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cook the Fish:

Add the fish chunks to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Stir gently to avoid breaking up the fish.
Add Lime and Season:

Stir in the lime zest and juice, and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add the fish sauce for extra flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime or fish sauce as needed.
Serve:

Ladle the Coconut Lime Fish Soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and sliced red chili for an extra kick.
Serve the soup hot, and enjoy the tropical, creamy goodness!
