I highly recommend this soup! The ginger and lime in here take over and I didn’t even notice a fishy flavor.  Maybe it was just unfishy fish. Whatever it was I liked it. I ate all the left overs too so don’t go looking for them.

The recipe was inspired and quite adapted from this Thai styled chicken soup recipe from this soup book that I can’t remember the name of but looked like that. Google is being no help right now sorry.
