Even though I used evaporated milk instead of cream, this was rich and wonderful and satisfying. I used frozen shrimp and homemade chicken broth and it came out perfectly. A great, great recipe. -
This came out perfect!! I chopped all the ingredients in a food processor and ended up cooking it mostly in a slow/soup cooker and it was delicious. I added an extra dab or two of Tobasco and that made it slightly spicy.
