🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
1 tablespoon fish sauce  
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced  
1 tablespoon olive oil  
1 small onion, finely diced  
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish  
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk  
1-2 teaspoons red curry paste (optional, for heat)  
3 garlic cloves, minced  
1 pound white fish fillets such as cod, tilapia, or snapper, cut into bite-sized pieces  
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated  
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)  
3 cups fish or chicken broth  
Salt and pepper to taste  
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved  
Lime wedges for serving  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.  
2. Add the garlic and ginger to the pot, stirring continuously until they release their aroma, roughly 1-2 minutes.  
3. Pour in the coconut milk, broth, lime juice, fish sauce, and red curry paste if desired. Combine well and bring to a low simmer.  
4. Stir in the red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes, letting the soup simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables just begin to soften.  
5. Carefully place the fish pieces into the simmering broth. Let them cook until opaque and fully done, which should take about 5-6 minutes.  
6. Finalize the soup by seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with chopped cilantro and accompanied by lime wedges for an additional zest.

💡 Tips and Tricks 💡  
For an extra kick, adjust the amount of red curry paste according to your spice preference. Adding a bit more can really intensify the flavors.  
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend part of the broth with some of the vegetables before adding the fish.
