Crawfish (Shrimp) and Corn Soup image

Hubby had this soup in New Orleans when we were visiting friends. He loved it, and asked for the recipe. He has made it several times since then, usually when he is "on his own" for dinner (its very easy to prepare). Being a vegetarian--I've never tried it, so I don't have an opinion.
