How to Make Vietnamese Fish And Tomato Soup

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups fish stock, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon palm sugar, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 2 cups water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of your favorite firm white fish (cod, snapper, or tilapia), cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1-2 Thai chilies, finely sliced (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  5. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish generously with ½ cup Vietnamese mint leaves, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, and ½ cup bean sprouts before serving.
