Ingredients

  • 2 14- ounce cans full fat coconut milk
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or seafood stock
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and thinly sliced or minced
  • 2 limes
  • 3/4 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 pound haddock filet cut into 1.5-inch chunks
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil
  • optional: chopped mint and chopped Thai basil for serving

Instructions

  • Zest one lime and cut in half. Set aside. Spiralize zucchini with the smallest blade setting and set aside.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or deep, large stockpot over medium high heat. Add coconut milk and chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring. Add carrots, fish sauce and lime zest and squeeze the juice from the zested lime into the soup, stirring.
  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add haddock and stir gently. Let simmer for approximately 3-4 minutes, until fish is almost done. Add shrimp and stir gently. Allow soup to simmer for about 2-3 minutes more until seafood is cooked through (shrimp should be pink and firm to the touch, and the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork).
  • Drop a nest of zucchini noodles in the center of four large soup bowls (approximately 1/2-3/4 cup of zucchini noodles per bowl). Ladle soup over the noodles and let stand for approximately 2-3 minutes so that zucchini can soften a little. Slice the second lime into wedges and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately.
