I made this in culinary school during "refrigerator madness day," in which we had to come up with a soup & garnishes using only the ingredients that still remained in our class fridge at the end of the week. We then dished it up buffet-style & invited other classes & chefs in for lunch.

*This version has andouille, ham, shrimp and kale added with the potato and corn.

VARIATIONS
Substitute ground beef, ham, and/or fresh cod fish loins & scallops. I like to substitute red hot links for the andouille sometimes as well.
