Easy and So Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was such an easy recipe to follow! It tasted like I spent a lot of time preparing it but it was quick and easy! I... added small bites of potato in mine and it went really well with the crab. Thanks, Paula!Read more

Simple to make and filling
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great soup - very filling. I only made two small changes. I used half and half rather than cream and only used a... 1/2 pound of crab as that is what I had on hand. Even with just a 1/2 pound of crab, there was still a morsel of crab in each spoonful. We'll definitely make this one again.Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am absolutely hopeless when it comes to anything in the kitchen but was able to make this with no problem and it tasted... great. I suggest using the traditional fish stock recipe from this website. My only complaint is that it doesn't have enough flavor but this was solved by adding Old Bay and Cayenne pepper once it was in the bowls. The extra kick of Old Bay is just what it needs! I will definitely be making this again.Read more

Great taste
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup was awesome. The flavor was great and it was soooo easy. The only change I made was after it was finished and we... had the leftovers. The crab seemed to absorb a lot of the liquid so I added more. Next time I think I will double the milk and cream. Thanks!!!!!Read more

Great flavor for a quick soup.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We had about 9 ounces of crab left over from New Year's so we gave this a try. I wasn't trying to change the recipe but just... used what we had on hand so it had clam juice, half and half, dried chives, and a half dozen oysters put in at the end. The result was a very tasty soup with rich flavor.Read more
