- 1 liter chicken broth
- 2 medium carrot

Instructions
Begin by preparing the fish balls. Cut the white fish fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor.
Add the egg, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients together until well combined and a paste-like consistency is achieved.
With wet hands, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and set aside.
Next, prepare the vegetables for the soup. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds.
Chop the celery stalks into small pieces, and dice the onion.
Peel and grate the ginger.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the prepared carrots, celery, onion, and grated ginger to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low and let the vegetables simmer for about 5 minutes.
Carefully add the fish balls to the simmering broth and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish balls are cooked through and firm.
Stir in the coconut aminos and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Whole30 Fish Ball Soup hot!
