Step 1
In a pot, bring the 4 cups broth to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and add the 2 tbsp fish sauce and 2 sliced chili peppers. Simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the broth.
Step 2
Cut the 1 lb fish fillets into bite-sized chunks and add them to the simmering broth. Cook gently until the fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the juice of 1 lime. Taste and adjust with more lime or fish sauce if needed.
Step 4
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a generous sprinkle of the 0.25 cup crispy fried shallots. Garnish with fresh cilantro or basil if you have them.
