This was my first homemade soup and it was great!!!! I don't eat red meat or pork, so I used spicy chicken italian sausage and 4 c vegetable broth and 1 c chicken broth instead of the beef broth. It was great the night I made it and just got better the next day!

Excellent! Everyone in the house loved it. The cream cheese takes it to another level! The only thing I did different was make the Angel Food Cake with Duncan Hines cake mix instead of purchasing an already made cake and used raw sugar instead of white sugar! It was a big hit!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I agree with others, that it definitely is better the next day. I had to modify my recipe since I do not eat pork..i saw that someone used kielbasa instead of ham, so i used tureky kielbalsa and turkey bacon. I aslo used the frozen instead of canned shrimp and Zataran's Creole Seasoning instead of rice as others have done. I also used brown rice. It was still excellent! A keeper.
