I posted this picture on my instagram the other day, and I got a few requests to share the recipe. I wish I could say this was culinary magic but it's really just my go-to when I want something healthy that's fast - and you can stock most of the ingredients in your pantry.
I make this soup ALL THE TIME. It's a quick open/chop/simmer soup that you can make in about 20 minutes, that's spicy, creamy and satisfying. It's also really easy to make modifications so feel free to use whatever veggies you have in your fridge.
If you have an Asian market in your 'hood, please check it out. You can get all of those great condiments and they usually have great quality fish. Not to mention it's fun to roam the aisles and see all the weird 'food' items they tend to sell. Quick note about fish sauce - it smells terrible. Why you ask would you use it in food? Well, it has this magical power to make food taste amazing and rich, even though you may want to gag while you're squirting it in the pot. You're going to have to trust me on this one.
