Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/2 medium-sized 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
- 1 to 2 tbsp red curry paste to taste
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1 cup fresh tomatoes chopped
- 10 ounces white fish fillets cod, halibut, or tilapia
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- fresh cilantro
- lime wedges
- green onions chopped
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large thick-bottomed pot such as a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and ginger and continue sautéing for a few minutes until aromatic.
- Pour in the can of coconut milk, chicken broth, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped fresh tomatoes. Cover the pot and bring the soup to a full boil. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low (a gentle simmer or controlled boil), and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Add in the fish filets and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the filets have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of each filet.
- Use tongs to transfer the fish filets to a cutting board. Break the fish fillets into smaller bite-sized pieces with a fork, then transfer them back to the soup. Give everything a big stir, then serve soup in bowls with fresh cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges. Enjoy the soup with any side dishes, like crusty bread and salad.
