Ingredients:
- 2 cups fish or vegetable broth
- 2 tilapia fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.
- Add the tilapia pieces to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes until they are firm and opaque. Remove the cooked tilapia pieces and set them aside.
- In the same pot, pour in the fish or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the coconut milk and let it simmer for a few minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Slowly drizzle the beaten eggs into the simmering soup while stirring gently with a fork or whisk. The eggs will create creamy ribbons within the soup.
- Add the cooked tilapia back into the pot, along with the lemon juice. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your preference for brightness.
- Continue to simmer the soup for another couple of minutes until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
- Once the soup reaches the desired consistency and flavor, remove it from heat.
- Serve the Creamy Egg and Tilapia Soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. The combination of creamy eggs, tender tilapia, and the subtle hint of coconut milk will create a comforting and delightful experience.
