I would love to try this soup, but I'm allergic to shrimp. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

I didn't have any chives on hand, so I used green onions instead. It still tasted great!

The soup was a bit too thick for my taste, so I added a little water to thin it out. Other than that, it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt and pepper to taste.
