- 150g Basil leaves
- 2 Tilapia fish

- 3-4 garlic

How to make African green fish soup
First, I’m going to prepare the fresh herbs and ingredients.
- Pluck the basil leaves into a bowl of water
- Peel off the skin of the garlic, ginger and onion and put in the same bowl with the basil
- Pour water into the bowl and clean the herbs with the water
- Transfer the clean basil, garlic, ginger and onion into your blend with 1 cup water till it is smooth.
I always make sure my ingredients are fresh and properly prepared because this makes a big difference to the final taste of the soup.
- Now prepare the fish by cleaning it thoroughly using the step outlined here
- Place your pot on the cooker
- Pour 2 cups of water into the pot
- Add the blended basil and herbs mix as the soup base
- Add pepper soup spice mix, turmeric powder and marugbo powder.
- Also add chilli pepper to make it spicy and salt for taste
- Mix well and allow the cook gently for 10-15 mins so the flavours can develop
- After 15 mins, carefully place the fish into the soup and stir gently
- Reduce the heat, the bring everything to a gentle boil for 10 mins.
Fish usually doesn’t need a long cooking time and placing the fish in the soup gently helps it hold shape while it cooks till it is tender.
- Then stir gently, reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 10mins
- While serving, gently scoop the fish to keep it intact
Look at that beautiful green colour. The ginger adds a lovely warming flavour while the onion and garlic helps to create a delicious base for the soup.
This is African soup is enjoyed warm and is full of delicious natural flavour.
