"This is a wonderful rich soup. I like to use crawfish, but shrimp will work equally as well." — DONTOM

Directions

In a large pot over high heat, combine the chicken broth and the broccoli. Cook about 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Set aside. In a large skillet, saut E the onions in the butter or margarine for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the garlic, crawfish or shrimp, hot pepper sauce and Creole seasoning. Saute another 5 minutes and add to the broccoli and broth.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, the cream of celery soup, and the milk. Mix the cornstarch and cold water and stir into the soup mixture. Mix well. Add mixture to the broccoli and broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese. Reduce heat to low and stir until cheese is blended. DO NOT BOIL.

I would say this recipe is just Ok. Despite liberal use of Balls Cajun Seasoning (my sister sends it to me from Louisiana)it was rather bland. I'm thinking it maybe would have benefited from some sauteed celery or green or red pepper? At any rate, we did eat it, and it was by no means horrid, but for the amount of calories involved, I won't be making again, just not good enough.

This was with out a doubt one of the best and easiest soups I've made to date. Great taste! Can add rice and spiced sausage to the soup and get a more New Orleans flavor. Difinitely try this one!

This was incredible. As usual, I doctored it up with lots of Old bay, Emeril's Essence, and a lot more hot sauce (also used extra onion, and lots more garlic). My husband and I absolutely crave it this soup.

This is close to the best soup I have ever had. I spiced it up a little by using cheyenne pepper instead of pepper sauce. I also used smoked sharp cheddar cheese and the smoked cheese flavor really added to this dish. DELICIOUS!!

Wonderful, tasty and easy! Even satisfied my New Orleans-born husband, though he added extra hot sauce to his. Delicious, definitely a keeper!
