Sopa de Pescado Seco
Sopa de Pescado Seco is a traditional soup made with dried, salted fish, often prepared during Lent and Holy Week in some Latin American countries. This version features a flavorful broth made with the fish, vegetables, and sometimes coconut milk, served with 'tortas' (fish cakes) made from the flaked fish and a binding agent.

- 1
Soak the dried salted fish in cold water for at least 6 hours, or overnight, changing the water a few times to remove excess salt. Drain and rinse.
- 2
Flake the fish, removing any bones and skin. Reserve the fish heads and bones for the broth if desired.
- 3
Prepare the tortas: In a bowl, combine the flaked fish with chopped onion, bell pepper, tomato, garlic, cilantro, celery, achiote, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and corn flour and mix well to form a cohesive mixture. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Form into small patties (tortas).
- 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortas until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- 5
Prepare the broth: In a large pot, sautรฉ the chopped onion, bell pepper, tomato, and garlic in a little oil until softened. Add the 4 cups of water (and reserved fish heads/bones if using), chopped cilantro, celery, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes to create a flavorful broth.
- 6
Strain the broth, discarding solids. Return the broth to the pot.
- 7
Add the fried tortas to the simmering broth. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 8
Serve hot, with a squeeze of lime and optional hot sauce.

- โThe soaking time for the dried fish is crucial to avoid an overly salty soup.
- โIf you don't have dried salted fish, you can use fresh fish and add salt to taste.
- โThe consistency of the torta mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape but not dry.
