What it is
A luxurious and flavorful seafood soup, popular in Guatemala's coastal regions. This hearty soup is brimming with a variety of fresh seafood such as shrimp, fish, mussels, and sometimes crab, all simmered in a rich, aromatic broth often infused with a hint of tomato, cilantro, and sometimes a touch of coconut milk for creaminess.
Key ingredients
Assorted seafood (shrimp, fish, mussels, calamari), fish broth, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cilantro, bell peppers, coconut milk (optional, for creaminess), cooking oil, salt, pepper, lime wedges.
Optional tweaks
Generally keto-friendly, but confirm no added starchy vegetables like potatoes. If coconut milk is used, ensure it's full-fat and unsweetened. Request no rice on the side.
Watch out for
Potential for added starchy vegetables (e.g., potato) to the soup, hidden sugars in tomato bases or broths, or if using a pre-made coconut milk that contains added sugar.
