I fell in love with Nigerian fish pepper soup and made my own variety of fish soup using everyday foods from the local grocer.

Ingredients

1 pound catfish fillets
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup fresh corn kernels
1 head bok choy, leaves and stalks separated
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
1 serrano pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cup chopped tomatoes
4 cups water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Season catfish and shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, Cajun seasoning, and curry powder; set aside in a bowl.
Heat a 6-quart pot over medium heat for 2 minutes; add olive oil. Add corn, bok choy, onion, bell pepper, serrano pepper, and garlic. Stir-fry until onion becomes tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Add catfish and shrimp to the soup. Cover and cook until flesh is opaque, 6 to 7 minutes more. Garnish soup with cilantro.

Cook's Notes:

Instead of seafood, you can substitute chicken or just make it a veggie soup. The base is still delicious.

Eliminate the serrano pepper seeds if you want to avoid it being too spicy.
