SUBMITTED BY: JAYDA PHOTO BY: Allrecipes

"Mildly spicy seafood soup. You could substitute an equal amount of crab meat or cooked sliced lobster for the shrimp. Use dry sherry to flavor instead of brandy if you make this substitution."

Interesting flavor combination. A little salty for my tastes. But overall a great soup alternative from the standards.

Excellent... My only suggestion is to use heavy cream and a bit more butter. This is excellent paired with coconut rice.

My sister and I made this for dinner one night and we were so blown away by the taste, amazing! Besides adding the shrimp we also added crab meat and chives which made it a delicious seafood soup. I will definitely make this again!
