Prepare the sofrito: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (180°C / 350°F). Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 2
Add the diced tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes. This forms the flavor base of the soup.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Pour in the vegetable or fish broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 4
Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering soup. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Avoid overcooking the fish, as it can become dry.
⏱️ 7 minutes - 5
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in half of the chopped cilantro.
⏱️ 1 minute - 6
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Garnish generously with the remaining fresh cilantro before serving.
