Cod soup with coconut milk

Bird's eye chilis range from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville Scale. Compare this to a typical jalapeno pepper, which averages 5,000 SHU, and the bird's eye pepper is anywhere from 10 to 20 times hotter. That's quite a lot of heat!

  • 1 lb thick cod fillets, skinless and boneless
    2 dl of coconut milk
