Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add sliced onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in crushed tomatoes.
Step 3
Pour in broth, add thyme or bay leaf, and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Nestle fish fillets into the broth. Add whole chile if using. Simmer 8–10 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 5
Season broth with salt and pepper to taste. Remove chile before serving if desired.
Step 6
Ladle into bowls, ensuring each gets fish and broth. Serve hot, ideally with crusty bread to soak it up.
