Brazilian Fish Stew

Peppers, coconut milk, tomatoes, and flaky chunks of fish make up the base of this rich, full-bodied soup from South America. Local chile peppers, plantains, and various deep-sea delicacies like squid traditionally make the cut, but we kept it weeknight-possible by going with easy-to-find cod.
