Instructions
- Finely slice the onion and crush the garlic. Sauté them in oil in a pan over medium heat for 4 minutes.
- Add the water, taro and yam. Bring to a boil, then cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Cut the fish into large pieces and place them in the broth with the salt and pepper.
- Let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, without stirring vigorously so the fish doesn't break apart.
- Pour in the coconut milk and heat gently for 3 minutes without letting it boil.
- Check that the vegetables are tender and the fish is cooked. Adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot.
Variations and tips
Thicker version. Mash a few pieces of taro against the side of the pan to naturally thicken the soup.
