Hi Troy
Sorry, I am not quite sure on this though, but you can perhaps try checking out local Asian supermarkets? I just google it, saw there are quite a few of Asian supermarket in Seattle, you can probably check with them on this. It does seem like this brand is available in quite a few countries 🙂
Cheers,

Hi Dee Dee
Yes, sometimes it is quite scary just how much sodium there is in instant food right? So I do cook quite a bit for my families but at the same time I do cheat a little as a working mother, got to find some easy and efficient way to cook something yummy for the family, and of course if it is very healthy it is always a plus. 🙂
I personally believe it is soooo hard to resist so many kind of yummy food around, so I do try to take it in moderation, including my indulgence moments. 😀
Actually just wondering, if you can find the tom yum soup in CA, may be you can make your own wontons, at my household, I put in other ingredients too, and tonnes of corriander as it goes oh so good with it. There are 2 ways, use the wonton skin to wrap up some minced pork & shrimps or just plain shrimps too. Cook it separately, then pour in the tom yum soup. Thinking about it makes my mouth water!! haha..

Recently at the Grocery Outlet Bargain Market in Sonoma County, CA I found in the freezer aisle CP brand Tom Yum soup with shrimp, unfortunately not the Tom Yum shrimp ‘won ton’ soup as described and raved about w/the reviews; however, was grateful to find these individual portions for my freezer. This is the only supermarket in Sonoma County where I have found them, and have checked Asian markets. I don’t know where the supermarket got them from.
They are sooo delicious; however, when I bought a dozen of them (speculating as many as my apartment-sized freezer would accommodate along w/all the other frozen stuff in there) and then looked at the nutritional info on the side of the package, it is a reasonable 4 gm. of fat per box; however, I was horrified re the sodium (and I’m gratefully not on any kind of sodium-restricted diet BTW) that it is a whopping 1,650 mg. of sodium, really, really high. However, it didn’t stop me from going back to this store yesterday and buying the last 3 they had in stock (must be popular).
So that’s my input on this Tom Yum Shrimp soup (again, did not come with won tons though wish they had this style), they are excellent, though concerned how just a little one cup or so serving of soup can be 1,650 mg. of sodium? :-(.
