📝 Preparation Steps
1
Defrost
2
Gather ingredients and defrost frozen tilapia according to package directions. (I defrosted mine overnight in the refrigerator, but defrosting in cold water also works in a pinch!)
water ($0.00)5 cups
3
Sauté
4
Dice onion, chop cabbage, and mince garlic. Add to a large pot with olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, bay leaf. Sauté until softened and glossy, about ⏱️ 5-8 minutes.

Add canned tomatoes, diced roasted red bell peppers, and butter beans.
6
Simmer

Add water and stir to combine. Bring up to a simmer for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes, until vegetables are all soft and fully cooked.

Slice
9
While the soup is simmering, slice tilapia into 1/2 inch pieces and add to soup.
10
Simmer the soup with tilapia added for only ⏱️ 5 minutes. The pieces of fish will be perfectly white and firm, but not overcooked. Remove from heat, stirring in fresh herbs and lime juice. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed, and enjoy hot.
