Notes

Tip: You can use ocean perch, morwong, blue-eye trevalla, warehou or redfish fillets for this recipe as all these fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. To give the soup more variety, use a combination of two or three types of fish.
Low FODMAP diet tip: Make this a Low FODMAP recipe by omitting onion and garlic. You can however use garlic greens. If these can't be purchased cook the whole garlic clove in the oil being used for the meal then remove it before cooking your food in the garlic flavoured oil.
