Cooking Notes
The broth turned out to have a much more mild flavor profile than what I was expecting considering the additions of whole cumin, jalapeños, and ginger. Good flavor, just mild.
Loved this recipe. But we'd add more broth next time. Use a whole package (for when you're halving the recipe the way we did). Using the recommended brother came out too thick. More stew than soup. Also we consider using ground cumin instead so that you dont get some bites that are overwhelmingly cumin-y. Also I'd ad da few more jalapenos.
This was excellent. Made a few modifications. Did not have small potatoes, but large ones cut up worked fine. Omitted the shrimp. Did not have fish stock so used better than bouillon and water. Added the corn cobs when cooking the potatoes and corn. Added about half a cup of coconut milk and juice of 1 lime. This was easy and quite tasty.
Excellent. I used grouper instead of halibut. I peeled the little potatoes, but not sure it is necessary. Would make it again.
This was outstanding and I will definitely make it again. I had some smoked salmon that I used instead of the halibut, I added it a minute before I took it off the stove, wow!
So so so good. We will be eatting this one again!
