About the recipe

This is an unusual but absolutely brilliant dish. You’ve got a really homely and delicious, simple tomato soup, and to go alongside it – garlicky meaty mussels topped with crispy breadcrumbs. It’s a great combination, really fun to do, totally affordable, and people just love bouncing from one to the other when you serve it up.
