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

— December 19, 2019 — Lifestyle
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.
