We loved this delicious soup with a few adjustments. I added a wee bit more cayenne pepper and left the seeds in the jalapenos for a more spicy taste. Sure tasted good!

I had some leftover shrimp and crab, so I added it in with the other ingredients. It wasn't really hot, just nice and spicy so everyone tried it and most went back for another helping. By the end of the evening it was almost gone. I took the last bowlful to work today for lunch, and really enjoyed it! This is great for any kind of party and a real pleaser with my crowd. I will make this again next year, if not before!

I added in one jalapeno with the seeds and it was plenty hot enough for us. Using the cream made it lighter in color than the photo and rich in flavor. I added one pound of shrimp too for even more taste. We love love love this Cajun classic all the way to the table!

Very nice,it reminded me of a spicy very thick corn chowder, we felt it could have a little more spiciness, another time i will add more cayene and jalepeno. We did enjoy it, i did not use whipped cream, didn't have any in, i used 2% milk, it worked well and made it creamy enough for us. the combination of veggies was very nice.

I made this last night and loved it. It had just enough spice in it to make it interesting. I loved the flavor from the spices and corn together. Rich, creamy and delicious. Sorry I couldn't take a photo, but my batteries died when I went to snap the first picture. I will take one next time I make it and I will be making it again. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing your cajun recipe with us Luv! Linda
