Step 1
In a pot, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add the 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 1 lb fish fillets and 2 chopped tomatoes to the pot. Simmer until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, thinly slice the 1 large red onion and soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
Stir in the 0.5 cup chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls.
Step 5
Top each bowl with the sliced onion, a squeeze of lime from the 2 limes, and a handful of popcorn for crunch.
