Ingredients

2 Tablespoon olive oil
1 habanero pepper seeds removed and chopped
1 yellow onion chopped
4 garlic cloves chopped
2 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup clam juice
2 springs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
4 mini corn cobs or ¾ cup frozen corn kernels
1 lb cod fish cut into 2 inch pieces or other white fish (mahi mahi, halibut)
½ cup cilantro chopped
1 Tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add habanero pepper, onion, garlic cloves and saute for 3-4 minutes, until onions softened.
Add chicken broth, clam juice, thyme, bay leaves, corn cobs, and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Add fish and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until fish is cooked through and flaky.
Remove bay leaves and thyme. Top with cilantro and add lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Make the soup in a dutch oven or heavy bottomed pan so that the heat distributes more evenly.
I like to use mini corn cobs in this fish soup, but you can also use frozen corn kernels.
The fish only requires a short amount of cooking time, so only add it when you are ready to serve.
