Carrot, Tomato and Red Bigeye Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

Red bigeye — known in Cantonese as “big-eye chicken” — makes a wonderfully fresh, sweet broth. Nourilo pairs it with carrot and tomato for a bright, comforting pot that the whole family enjoys. It is the kind of soup traditionally offered to children with a weak spleen and a lacklustre appetite, and old hands also like it for tired eyes.

Method

1. Peel the carrot and cut into chunks; rinse and cut the tomatoes.
2. Skin and clean the fish, then pan-fry in a little oil until fragrant.
3. Put everything into a pot with 1.8 L of water and simmer about 1 hour down to 1.2 L.
4. Drink the soup and eat the ingredients.
