In a few days, March 25th is approaching and the Google search for recipes based on cod is on fire. For this day I preferred a different recipe than usual. I preferred to make cod soup with coconut milk.
This recipe goes beyond the Greek tradition as it has influences from Thai cuisine. And this is because I preferred to flavor and enrich my soup with coconut milk. It is a soup with exotic notes where the saltiness of the cod blends harmoniously with the coconut milk and the coriander.
THE INGREDIENTS OF THE RECIPE
So if you are a fan of exotic flavors and experiments and this year on March 25 you want to make a difference then make sure you get the following:
- cod fillet
- leeks, garlic, carrots, celery
- coconut milk
- cod fillet
- ground coriander, cardamom, black pepper
For serving, I would suggest you get fresh coriander, red pepper flakes or paprika and why not make some homemade croutons flavored with thyme and garlic? Let’s do it!
