February 05, 2020 0 Comments

Ingredients

• Chopped Fish eg. Tilapia ,Red Fish etc.  
• 6 medium sized tomatoes
• 5 medium sized onions
• 15 small red bell peppers
• 100 ml red palm oil
• 5 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp ginger paste
• 4 - 5 bouillon cubes/ stock cubes
• salt (to taste)
• 1 small tin tomato paste , ( 2 tbsp)
• chopped okra (optional)

1. Chop the 4 peeled onions into medium sized chunks. Add into the cooking pan with tomatoes and red bell peppers over high heat. * Wash vegetables before using.* Allow to boil for 20 minutes.
2. Remove only the tomatoes and the red bell peppers into your blender and blend. * Do not add extra water*
3. Pour tomato and red bell pepper mixture into a sieve and separate mixture from seeds into a bowl.
4. *Do not rinse out the blender container* Blend the cooked onions, garlic cloves, ginger and a little water from the cooking pan originally used to cook the vegetables in STEP 2. Transfer into another bowl.
5. *TIP* Fetch out all the remaining water used to cook in STEP 2 into BOWL 3. *TIP* This will be our water bank because of the rich nutrients already in it. This is better than using fresh water. 
6. Set on your stove the cooking pan again and add 100ml palm oil/vegetable oil with 1 medium sliced (preferable size) onion. Allow to fry for 5 MINS
7. Add blended mixture of onions, ginger and garlic into the cooking pan. Allow to cook for 5 MINS.
8. Add the blended mixture of the tomatoes and pepper into the cooking pan. ** NO SEEDS** Allow to cook for 10 MINS over low heat while performing STEPS 10 -12
9. **TIP** Pour the water in BOWL 3 over the seeds to get some more flavor and sieve out the water from the seeds into BOWL
10. Add 4 - 5 bouillon cubes/stock cubes (preferable amount) into BOWL 4. *I prefer Shrimp flavored cubes*
11. Add mixture in BOWL 4 into the cooking pan (soup). *If too thick add a little water* Allow to cook for 5 MINS.
12. Add your chopped choice of fish into the cooking pan (soup). Allow to cook for 30 MINS. * Check to see if fish is cooked but not too soft. We don't want a scattered fish soup* *Add fresh green red bell peppers if you prefer a chili hot fish soup.
13. Allow to cool. ENJOY!
