First, get the aromatic ingredients ready.
Warm the olive oil in a big pot on medium heat.
Put the chopped onion in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until it becomes see-through.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced bell pepper. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until it smells good and is a bit soft.
Step 2: Make the Soup Broth
Put the coconut milk, vegetable or fish broth, fish sauce (if you have it), lime peel, and lime juice in the pot.
Add ground turmeric, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the mixture gently and let it cook for 5-7 minutes so the flavors can blend.
Step 3: Prepare the fish.
Carefully put the fish chunks into the soup that is gently boiling.
Cook the fish for 5-7 minutes until it turns opaque and can be easily flaked with a fork.
If you are using spinach or bok choy, add them to the dish during the final 2 minutes of cooking until they become soft.
Step 4: Present and Decorate
Pour the soup into bowls.
Sprinkle some fresh cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges for a zesty citrus taste.
