PaulaG's Note:

I have had this recipe for a long time. It is one of those recipes that gets misplaced and then pops back up. Thus, I haven't actually tried it yet. I thought that if I posted it maybe I wouldn't keep loosing it! It looks interesting.

We loved this one! Great soup - has you coming back for seconds. Finding we really like the corn/curry combination! Other then using just a bit of the cilantro and subbing the rest with parsley I made as posted. How good - been added to my soup collection.

Oh man is this soup ever delicious, not to mention easy to make, I think it must be all the combos of different flavors going on in this soup that makes it so good! I increaed the curry waaaaay up, added in lots of fresh garlic and increased the shrimp, I can't wait to make this again, the next time I will double or triple the recipe, it is THAT good! thanks for sharing this one Paula, wonderful recipe!...Kitten:)
