Tuscan Tomato-Bread Soups

Trader Joe’s New Pappa al Pomodoro is the Ultimate Comfort Food

This winter, Trader Joe's wants to help consumers beat the cold with its new Pappa al Pomodoro.

Trader Joe's Pappa al Pomodoro is inspired by the classic tomato-bread soup from Tuscany. The dish starts with imported Italian tomatoes that are pureed and cooked in a rich vegetable broth made from carrots, onions, and garlic. The savory tomato base is then kicked up a notch with seasonings like sea salt, basil, crushed red peppers, and olive oil. To thicken it, Trader Joe's add a bit of rustic, Tuscan-style sourdough bread. Best of all, Trader Joe's Pappa al Pomodoro comes in frozen, single-serving cylinders, so all you have to do is unwrap, heat, and enjoy.
