It will save you a trip to Pizza Bellaroma in Fremantle. Make sure you have some great bread to soak up the juices.

 "It is the best! So simple and taste fantastic! I missed out on the tomatoe paste, but dice tomatoes are super tasty with it already! After the mussels I drank up all the soup with plenty of bread! Be careful with the chillis though, the chilli seems to release more spice in soup." - harolzoidium

    So delicious! Made this in a rustic cabin in the woods with the simplest of supplies and it really hit the spot.

    Great recipe! Added a few extra Thai chillies for a little extra zing. But that's personal preference.
