Thai Fish Soup

Thai Fish Soup
Thai Fish Soup
This soup came about on a clean out the pantry and fridge night. I used a can of peas and a can of corn (I know - gasp!), along with the end of a bag of julienne carrots. But really, any frozen or fresh veggies will work here. Throw in some ribbons of greens, some snow peas cut on the bias, or some beautiful carrot coins. Switch up the herbs, or use only one kind.

For the fish, I had a few fillets of tilapia and a large swai fillet that I took out of the freezer the day before, and in those went. Mild white fish is definitely the way to go here, it paired perfectly with the broth made slightly creamy from the addition of coconut milk.

You may notice the obvious crazy yellow color of my broth. That comes from the addition of turmeric in my homemade curry powder. I've been adding turmeric to as many dishes as I can lately, since it aids in digestion, helps reduce the accumulation of toxins in your gut, and has anti-inflammatory properties (plus a whole lot more). Plus, it's bright and sunny, and just makes me happy. Check out more recipes using this superfood in my 100 Turmeric Recipes roundup!
