Make the soup: In a
large pot, heat the oil over
medium-high heat. Sauté the veggies; except for the corn for 2-3 minutes, stir continuously. Once they have started to cook and slightly browned, pour in the 8
cups of water and the blended sauce. Pour 1 cup of water into the blender, swirl to get the last bit of sauce and pour into the pot. Stir, and add the corn plus the herbs. Let it reach a boil, then lower to medium-low heat. Once it reaches a gentle simmer, cover and let it cook for 6-8 minutes or until the veggies are 3/4 of the way cooked. Stir in the salt, under-salt it because it will continue to cook. Add the fish, submerge them into the broth. Increase the heat to medium-high for a boil, then lower to medium-low to reach a gentle simmer. Cover and let everything cook for another 10 minutes or until the fish and veggies are fully cooked. Adjust salt to taste, gently stir it in and the soup is ready, turn off the heat.
