My husband Marcos taught me how to make this. He loves this soup and would eat it everyday if he could. You can add in some corn, black beans or even potatoes to this. it always turns out great. My husband really likes it just simple with tortillas. 8)

    While the tomato mixture is cooking, take your fish and cut several cuts in the sides of them and salt them very well. Let them sit as you cook the rest of the soup.
