Soups are a staple in my household we all love them especially when the weather is wet and grim. This Thai tomato Soup is so simple to make and strangely the recipe works best with overripe tomatoes that are usually too soft for salads. Adding the Thai flavours just converts the humble tomato soup and makes it A class!!
