Spicy Fish Soup Recipe
Spicy Fish Soup delivers delicious preparations that are low in fat, influenced by growing up on the Texas/Mexico border with regional food preferences. This healthy recipe showcases border cooking influences while providing lean protein alternatives and authentic regional spice combinations. The border heritage ensures genuine Tex-Mex characteristics.

This is a delicious fish soup that’s low in fat! Having grown up on the Texas/Mexico border, I like foods spicy, but you can adjust the seasonings to taste. I also add a splash of hot pepper sauce to each bowl.
