Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Create the Base: Pour in the coconut milk and fish stock, mixing well. Add lime juice, fish sauce, turmeric, and chili flakes (if using). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Cook the Fish: Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering soup. Let it cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Season and Finish: Taste the soup and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving for a fresh burst of flavor.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro, if desired.
