Tips

• I like my soup slightly rich and lemony so I used half tin of water (tin from the campbell soup measurement) and half tin of milk. You can use all water if you prefer. I squeeze lemon before serving to bring the 'tangy' level 1 notch up.
• Pls check your tomato soup taste first as different brands have different taste. Some are more sour than others. If too sour, add some sugar to balance the taste.
• Do not fry the squid and scallops too long or it will become rubbery
