  1. Delicious soup! It's easy to put together, and something a little different. I played with the recipe a bit and made a half batch for dinner for two people, and it worked out well. I skipped the ham, and used a little more shrimp and corn than a half recipe called for and also both eggs. It seems like a really flexible recipe. Thanks for posting this gem!
     
  2. Very good soup! I was imagining something thicker but enjoyed this nonetheless. I didn't have water chestnuts, but will definitely add them next time. I omitted the ham and doubled up on the shrimp for my pescatarian daughter. It is easy and warms the soul!
     
  3. Awesome! Lots of flavors and textures in this soup. Loved the occassional crunch of the water chestnuts. I used 2 whole eggs instead of just the whites, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Thanx for posting this; it's a keeper for sure!
     
  4. So easy to make and so delicious. Made exactly as directed and 3 of us polished it off for dinner. Thank you Pot Scrubber, made for Let's Get Souped Up Tag Game - November 2008.
     
  5. Excellent. Quick and tasty-the only change I made tot he original recipe was to use the whole can of water chestnuts to avoid wasting them. I imagine it was about double the amount asked for. I don't think this altered the finished soup. I will be making this again!
