Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed, adding liquid Maggie and more salt if necessary.

Add the seasoned fish to the pot and let it cook for about 12 to 15 minutes.

After cooking, squeeze lime juice into the soup for freshness and adjust flavors as needed.

Let the soup sit to cool before plating.
