Coconut Peanut Fish Soup

 This warm and hearty soup is a strange lovechild of international cuisine. Combining the hearty, thick peanut and coconut of a traditional Brazilian soup recipe with the spiciness and blends of flavour of a Thai tom-yum soup results in this tasty soup! Easy and quick to make, it's sure to warm you up!

I used dried cilantro...shhhhhhhh...
