Hi friends of #HIVE, This is my entry in this great contest.

Soups are an essential dish in people's diet. The best way to ensure an adequate intake of various vegetables is through soup. Everything is used, including water, where many nutrients are diluted. That's why that water should be used to make soups, and it provides many vitamins and minerals. I am a fan of all soups, but especially my favorite is "The Fish Soup"

The soup or boiled fish is a typical, economic and highly nutritious dish that is consumed very often in the areas of seas and rivers of our country, especially by the fishermen themselves when they return from fishing.

Its preparation is quick and simple; it is a vegetable broth, seasoned with onion, garlic, peppers and lemon, where the fresh fish is cooked. It is usually accompanied by arepas, cassava; that is why it is considered the typical dish par excellence of the Venezuelan coastal area.

Ingredients:

1 kg of fish in pieces
2 tablespoons of olive oil
4 lemons
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
4 onions
8 chillies
1 cup of diced auyama,
1 cup of yucca
1 cup of juice
1/2 gallon [1 L] of water (or more, if needed)
2 green cambures topochos.
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt (or more, to taste)

Elaboration:

Place the fish on a tray and rub it with salt. Sasona with julienne onions, crushed garlic, chopped chilli, spring onions Sprinkle with the juice of ½ lemon.
Peel the cambures topochos and keep them dipped in lemon, so that the broth does not get dark.
Place a pot of water on the fire, add the vegetables and salt to taste.
Add the cambures moles, keep them in the fire for 20 minutes.
After that time, add the fish and oil, cook until they are well cooked, but firm.
Serve in deep, hot dishes, place the fish pieces before serving.
