Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the ingredients

  • Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Peel and coarsely chop enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. (Cut the halibut into 1-inch pieces.) Season the fish with salt and pepper. 

2

Cook the soup

In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sweet potato and onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and Jamaican seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. 

Stir in the coconut milk, pumpkin puree, and ¾ cup [1½ cups] water, then nestle the fish in the liquid. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender and the fish is opaque and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, add as much Aleppo chile as you like, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the soup into individual bowls, garnish with the parsley, and serve.
