"Was watching Beach Eats USA hosted by Curtis Stone and I have tried to recreate the recipe. Since making this (I made a full recipe) and though I ate all the mussel meat I could not get through even half the tomato broth so the next day I blitzed it with the stick blender and heated it up and it made a fantastic tomato soup served with some garlic bread."
