Tomato Tom Yum Soup
A different take on a classic tomato soup, this recipe uses pantry staples and Asian flavours for a flavor-packed meal that’s ready in 30 minutes. This version uses prawns for a delicious finish, but could easily be swapped for tofu for a vegan dish.
Made with Polpa with garlic
Fresh and vibrant Mutti Polpa Finely Chopped tomatoes, simply enhanced with a subtle hint of either basil or garlic this range provides the perfect base to many recipes calling for chopped tomatoes.
