    A beautiful bowl of Ecuador Fish soup served with avocado and toasted corn kernels

    Ecuador is famous for their soups and stews.  This particular Ecuador fish soup is one served with a pickled onion and tomato salsa is exceptionally good.  It can be made with tuna or any fish that you like. I made mine with mahi mahi and it turned out great.  It is also served with fried green bananas and or toasted corn nuts.  You  should be able to find the large corn kernels called choclo a giant Cusco at your local Latin market and follow the package directions to toast them, or  you can pick some up here. This soup is also traditionally served with avocado and lime. This would make a wonder meal by itself, I served it as part of our Ecuadorian meal. Enjoy!
