Hi, foodie lovers! I’m so excited to invite you to prepare a home-style meal my way. Today, I’ll guide you through making one of my favorite fish dishes. As it happens, I grilled this fish yesterday—and I had an extra one. So I saved it, planning to make a soup dish like this. This dish is simple, but trust me, it’s incredibly delicious and can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.

This fish soup recipe comes from my mother; it’s her favorite soup. She uses fresh star fruit for the sour flavor—simple, yet it’s the kind of dish that makes everyone at home eat plenty of rice.

Tara, look at the result—it looks so appetizing, doesn’t it? This soup is perfect for anyone who’s feeling under the weather. In my opinion, it’s my go-to meal when I have a fever or a cold. Not only is it delicious on its own, but it’s also delicious when served with rice.

It has a savory flavor with a refreshingly tangy kick from the fresh beliming wuluh, which makes it even more delicious. In my opinion, this is a simple fish soup, but it can be a go-to dish anytime with this simple recipe.
