This is one of the easiest recipes in my repertoire, in no small part because there’s no actual cooking involved. This dish relies upon the age-old method of “cooking” the raw fish in highly acidic juices like lime or lemon. As a result, it’s almost pickled and, therefore, something that will last in your fridge

If you can turn on a stove, open a can and stir a pot you can make this soup. I swear. It makes a TON and it keeps in the freezer forever. I love this one because it’s really easy to make, doesn’t cost much, and goes a long way for the money. Also, this
