When I was in graduate school at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA I had a classmate who had a boyfriend who could COOK! He was from Louisiana and he would cook meals for us while we studied at his home. One of his specialties was a Shrimp Corn Soup. He served it with a turkey sandwich but let me say it wasn’t a regular turkey sandwich. It was on a delicious baguette with special aioli and it was simply DIVINE! This soup is the ultimate comfort food.
Years later, I contacted my friend for this recipe and his boyfriend sent it without hesitation! Gotta love that Southern charm. I made it for my family on another Maryland snow day and they loved it. I hope you try this recipe because I seriously believe you will LOVE IT as much as I do.
Bon appetite!
