Weeknight Salteñas Soup

Assemble the ingredients: fish, carrot, cumin, bell pepper, olive oil, garlic, chili.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the fish and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bolivian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bolivian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
