If you know anything about me, you know that I am a classified Thai addict. I could live off of Thai food for the rest of my life! (all joking aside) So, I am eating a lot of soups. I found this at the grocery store and nearly fell to the ground! Okay… maybe that’s a tad dramatic… But I was extremely excited to try it out!
First and foremost, the packaging of this is so sleek and pretty. I know in the end it’s the taste that matters but you have to admit, packaging suckers you in sometimes too!
On the back of the packaging it states, “Sweet coconut milk and rip red tomatoes paired with an Asian spice medley, shallots and Kaffir lime”. I had extremely high expectations for this soup after reading that!
I also found this interesting: On the box, it states the reason why they used a fresh-sealed carton, “It allows us to use a more delicate cooking process that retains the bold, satisfying flavors in our soups” Again, my expectations kept going up!

The first ingredient is tomato puree
The way I cooked this was just over the stove top. On medium heat, it took about ten minutes to get to my desired heat.
The aroma from the soup was so incredible! It smelled just like Thai Coconut Curry, which is my favorite Thai food dish.
First taste… incredible! I couldn’t believe how savory and delectable it was. It tasted just like the smell but with a hint of tomato. It was quite spicy as well but nothing I couldn’t handle. The tiny chunks of tomatoes added a unique twist as well.
I give this product a 10/10 simply because it was incredible! Without a doubt it’s my new favorite soup! Full of flavor and even a bit of spice
Let me know if you LOVE Thai food just as much as I do! If not, what’s your favorite international food?
