1 large carrot (thick sliced)
1 leek (cut into rings)
2 medium zucchini (cut into ½-inch cubes)
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves (peeled)
1 Tbsp oregano
1 Tbsp shrimp bouillon
salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Boil tomatoes in plenty of water until soft (about 10 minutes).

  • Add tomatoes and guajillo chilies into a blender or food processor.
  • Add chipotle chilies, onion, garlic, peppercorns, and 1 cup of water.
  • Blend for 1 minute or until you'll have a smooth sauce.
  • Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a bowl and set aside.

  • Add shrimp bouillon and oregano. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour into the pot 6 cups of water, mix, and bring to a boil.
  • Important: if you are adding fish heads and tails to the soup, this is the time to add them as they can start releasing their flavor right away, otherwise, keep cooking the vegetables for 10 more minutes before the next step.
  • Add the fish chunks to the pot, bring to boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer from 5 to 7 minutes or until fish and vegetables are cooked through.
  • Adjust salt to taste, turn off the heat and serve.

Categories     Fish Soups

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium onions
3 medium tomatoes
1 can(s) chipotle pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
16 oz uncooked shrimp
2 tilapia fish
water
corn tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Put the olive oil in a large pot and heat it over medium high. Dice onions and tomatoes and place them in oil. Add some of the sauce and a couple of the chipolte peppers from the can to the pot. (cut the peppers up a little) Saute for a few minutes until the tomatoes and onions are soft.
  • 2. While the tomato mixture is cooking, take your fish and cut several cuts in the sides of them and salt them very well. Let them sit as you cook the rest of the soup.
  • 3. Fill the pot with about half way up with water and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling add the shrimp. Let this all come to a boil for about 5 minutes or so.
  • 4. Add the fish in last. (Marcos cooks them with the heads as well LOL) Let the Fish cook for about 10 minutes until it is soft and starts to fall apart. Be sure and not cook it to long so that it falls all apart.
  • 5. Turn the heat off and let sit for a few minutes. Serve with tortillas. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Fish: The fresher the fish, the better your soup will taste. If you can, try to use wild-caught fish whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Fish cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fish will be tough and dry.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your soup. Some good choices include onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Add Some Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices can really enhance the flavor of your soup. Some good choices include cilantro, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, and cumin.
  • Simmer the Soup: Simmering the soup for a longer period of time will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful.
  • Taste the Soup and Adjust Seasoning: Once the soup is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
