"Adapted from the Southern Comfort Recipe site, with a few changes. One pound chopped smoked ham can be substituted for sausage. For a stronger tomato taste, add 1 small can of low-sodium tomato paste with the chicken stock. You can also use boiled rather than raw shrimp to save some trouble. On the other hand, tomatoes can also be left out altogether, for a less specifically New Orleans taste; if omitting, increase the other liquids a bit. I'm somewhat guessing at preparation and cooking times. I almost always cook with low-sodium ingredients and let people add salt at the table, if desired; however, this need not be made with low-sodium ingredients if you prefer otherwise."
