Tomato, Potato and Sea-Fish Soup

Why people make this soup

A fresh sea fish like leopard coral grouper simmered with tomato and potato makes a beautifully rich and sweet everyday broth. Tomato and potato are everyday sources of vitamins and minerals traditionally associated with supporting the bones, and the soup is also valued for nourishing the skin. Nourilo finds live sea fish yield a wonderfully fragrant, full-flavoured result — worth trying when fresh fish is available at your fishmonger or Asian market.

Method

1. Wash and cut the tomatoes; peel and cut the potatoes.
2. Clean the fish and pan-fry in a little oil until fragrant.
3. Bring 2.1 L of water to a boil, add all the ingredients, and simmer 1 hour down to about 1.2 L. Serve.

Nourilo’s Tips

This soup is very fresh and sweet, suitable for young and old. Because tomato is rich in folate, which is good for a developing baby, it’s well suited to expectant and new mothers as a regular soup.
