The soup base freezes well. Freeze it in an airtight container, leaving some headspace. It's best to freeze the soup without the fish. Add freshly cooked fish when reheating. Thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat. You can also enhance the tomato flavor with a tablespoon of tomato paste during the vegetable frying stage.
