For a richer flavor, use homemade fish stock instead of water. Feel free to adjust the amount of Scotch bonnet pepper to your liking. Remember, a little goes a long way! Other Caribbean vegetables, such as eddo or dasheen, can also be added to the soup. Serve with crusty bread or dumplings for a complete and satisfying meal. A squeeze of lime juice at the end adds a bright, zesty finish.
