For a richer flavor, consider using shrimp stock in place of water. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the soup. Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced celery or okra for added texture and flavor. Serve with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete and satisfying meal.
