Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fish — Choose a firm white fish, such as cod or halibut, for the best results. Ensure the fish is fresh and properly cleaned before slicing.
- Cilantro — Rinse the cilantro thoroughly and chop it just before adding it to the soup to retain its vibrant flavor.
- Basil — Tear the basil leaves instead of chopping them to release their aromatic oils.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a few slices of fresh chili pepper to the soup.
- If you prefer a thicker broth, you can dissolve a tablespoon of cornstarch in water and add it to the soup during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Experiment with different types of fish to find your favorite flavor combination.
- Serve the soup with a side of steamed rice or crusty bread for a more substantial meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop before serving.
