CAJUN CORN SOUP

Cajun Corn Soup image

I found this recipe years ago and substituted Cajun stewed tomatoes for a bolder taste. Now I prepare this dish for out-of-state guests who want to taste some Cajun food. Everyone who tries it gives it high marks. Plus, it's easy to prepare. -Sue Fontenot, Kinder, Louisiana
