Default REVIEW: Trader Joe's Tom Yam Soup

This is a new product in the frozen section.
It's not only Thai style, but also made in Thailand.
It costs $2.29. It features spinach mushroom wontons
in a spicy broth.

The only positive thing I can say about this soup
is that it has the flavors I would associate with
authentic Thai cooking, which is not hard to do
when you're in Thailand. There's recognizable notes
of coconut milk, Thai chili, lemon grass, etc.
The spices are in a separate packet, so you are
free to add as little or as much as you want,
for example if you don't want chili.

On the minus side, you don't get much for your money.
It would only fill a soup bowl if you have very small
soup bowls. And yet, it's got 1000 mg salt. That's
a lot of salt for such a small portion. Also, the
wontons have very little flavor or texture.

I can't imagine ever buying this again, and I recommend
you don't. At $2.29, it's a poor value, even if it
were good, which it isn't.
