This was DELICIOUS. I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of broth, but I'm sure the broth is great, too. I did use small shrimp as that was what I had. I used about 1/2 cup of half and half and a cup of milk. This was fresh-tasting and rich, a super company meal because it goes together so quickly and is SO yummy. Salad and rolls complete this satisfying meal!

This was quite good! I increased the recipe, adding a can of creamed corn and another can of broth, and about 4-5 potatoes (peeled, diced, and cooked; I pureed the creamed corn and about 1/3 of the potatoes with a little of the broth and added it to the soup that way). I also used fresh parsley instead of cilantro, with a dash of nutmeg and a bay leaf. Yum!
