This was very quick to make and it tasted O.K., but it seemed to need something... Next time I think maybe I will try a little bit of Old Bay if I make it again and see if that helps. Thanks for the idea, Carmen B.

Made this last night and it was great. Used homemade chicken stock in place of the bouillon and water, and canned crabmeat. Make sure you drain the crabmeat well, though. Had the second portion this morning with a poached egg on toast with a mock hollandaise sauce recipe from Epicurious. Made for a great and easy low cal Crab Benedict.
