Warm up with this hearty soup. Serve with warmed bread sticks and a salad.

Don't let the number of ingredients for this thick stewlike dish keep you from trying this dish. Taking the time for this Creole speciality is definately worth the wait. Adjust seasonings for your family and serve over a bed of hot cooked rice and with a sweet cornbread.
