Fish Soup

In Southeast Asian countries where seafood resources are abundant, fish soup is a common dish in many countries in the region, from Indonesia's tekwan (fish ball soup) to Vietnam’s canh chua (tamarind fish soup). Fish soup is an easy dish to prepare and its cooking methods are endless — you can whip up a comforting soup dish by cooking fish in a savoury shrimp-based clear broth, tangy tomato broth or a refreshing broth made of herbs and tamarind within a short time. In addition to that, eating fish also has many health benefits. Fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality proteins and minerals that improve brain memory, help in muscle repair and boost heart health.

Craving for a hearty and nutritious bowl of fish soup? Here’s a healthy fish soup recipe that is filling and easy to make. Firstly, stir fry some shallots, garlic, and ginger, then add some water and let it boil.
