Ingredients:
1 pound fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or snapper), cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cups fish or chicken broth
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 piece of ginger (about 1 inch), grated
1-2 red Thai chilies, sliced (adjust amount for heat level)

Juice of 2 limes (about ¼ cup)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
Fresh cilantro or Thai basil for garnish

Instructions:
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the Thai chilies and briefly sauté to release their flavor.
Pour in the coconut milk and broth, then bring to a simmer. Stir in fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar.
Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach (or kale), and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Gently add the fish pieces to the soup and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the fish is tender and cooked through.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil, and serve with lime wedges.
