Ingredients
- cooking spray
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 1 (4 ounce) can canned green chile peppers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1½ cups canned peeled and diced tomatoes
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ½ cup medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- ½ pound cod fillets, cut into chunks
- ¾ cup plain nonfat yogurt
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary ingredients and have them ready for preparation. This step ensures everything is within reach for a smooth cooking process.
- Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chili powder, and cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture is aromatic.
- Add the chicken broth, chopped chile peppers, and cumin to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Stir in the tomatoes, bell pepper, shrimp, and cod, then raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture back to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Slowly mix in the yogurt, stirring gently until it is fully incorporated and warmed through.
