Hi, what’s going on? We have been trying for the last six months here in Denia to get Knorr tomato soup in a packet, my misses uses it to make curries, we can’t find any. Is there a famine of tomatoes I have not heard about. I haven’t had a decent Ruby for months.

why not just ask in the shop where she used to buy it?

Isn't there an equivalent in your area of this type of place (British food hall near Madrid)?

Or can't you persuade someone here who's flying out to Alicante to bring across a few packets? Perhaps we need a top cook here to suggest alternatives; I would have thought tomatee puree, but obviously you're looking for a certain taste. Be interesting to see what other posters suggest.

there are English supermarkets in Javea

Use Spanish.

You can say that again

Ingredients
Dried tomatoes, potato starch, modified milk ingredients, corn syrup solids, sugar, hydrolyzed corn protein, canola oil, salt, onion powder, modified corn starch, autolyzed yeast extract, dried basil and parsley, spices, potassium phosphate, sodium silicoaluminate, silicon dioxide and sulphites.

I would suggest Tomate Frito. Available everywhere in Spain.

it''s what we use

And us. ;-))

If you have plenty of garden grown tomatoes left over from the season you can freeze them and use them in a frito too.

Baz............If Mrs Baz uses tomato Frito, coconut milk, onion,and pataks mild curry paste she will be able to make a fantastic curry either meat,prawn or veg.The curry paste albeit shown as mild is really madras strength. Look at the ingredients that go into the Knorr packet soup above ugggggh, I must say you are the first I know who uses it to make a curry. maybe You need to stop using such items and use the wonderful fresh items available in Spain. Best of luck in your search the hidden knorr.

You can buy it here at this link who will post to Spain very cheap.
