👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Add minced garlic and chopped chili pepper (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in chopped tomatoes (or tomato paste) and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

4. 4

   Add diced carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper to the pot. Stir to combine with the tomato mixture.

5. 5

   Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.

6. 6

   Gently add the cleaned small fish to the simmering soup. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook the fish.

7. 7

   Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving.
