    Thank you for the recipe! This soup has a good flavor. The only changes I'd make for next time would be to make it on the stove and use raw shrimp.

    I cut up 3 strips of thick cut bacon into small pieces with scissors and cooked my shrimp with it. I also wanted more soup so added another cup of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Came out awesome! My son and I both loved it.
