It is a good soup IF the flour is added after the corn and tomatoes are added. To do so before hand at medium heat will cause copious amounts of smoke to emit from the pot. The instructions could be a little more detailed. The soup tasted much better *before* the addition of shrimp.<br/><br/>Read more at: http://www.food.com/recipe/cajun-shrimp-soup-143633/review#rz-w?oc=linkback
