Cajun Fish Soup Served with Mangoes
Do you change your eating habits with the seasons? Without a doubt, when the temperature rises, we tend to eat lighter meals. My family doesn’t crave the filling dinners that kept our tummies warm through the cold winter nights! We start enjoying more salads, broth-based soups, and a vegetable stir-fries.
Spring brings milder weather, a change in wardrobe, and fresh meals on our weekly menu. We recently added this delightful Cajun Fish Soup to our rotation. It’s hands down one of the easiest, most delicious soup recipes I’ve ever made. The flavours burst in your mouth with each spoonful.
The use of cilantro, lime, cajun spice, and fresh mangoes makes this meal spicy and refreshing at the same time. It fills the belly with warmth, without weighing it down – while also being rich with nutrients and vitamins.
A light fish flavoured with spice adds just the right texture and taste. The seafood is balanced by the broth, combination of herbs and fruitiness added by the mangoes.
After an invigorating spring walk, this soup is the perfect meal to enjoy and welcome the new season with.
