Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add ginger and garlic, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 60 seconds — don't let it burn.
Step 3
Pour in stock and tomatoes with their juice. Add sweet potato cubes and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Simmer for 8 minutes until sweet potato is nearly tender. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Add fish chunks and shrimp. Simmer gently until fish is opaque and shrimp are pink, about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot in deep bowls — broth should be fragrant and bright.
