Easy Crab Soup
"30 years ago my friend Karen served this at dinner. I thought it was awesome then. People still like it when I serve it. Takes 15-mins from opening the tins of soup to serving. Great when hungry and rushed for time."

We enjoyed this, very tasty and easy too! I cut the recipe in half and I only did 1 teaspoon of curry (we have some "adult" babies here. LOL Also, I added a dash more tabasco as well. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT 6, Zingo. -
Used good ol' Maryland Crabs, (jumbo lump) and the addition of the curry is way over the top good!! I added more the usual amount of tabasco sauce and also 1 teaspoon of Old Bay Seasoning. Loved the sherry addition too! :) Good tasting!! Made for ZWT6 - 2010 -
Had this for dinner last night as I wanted something quick and easy. This dish, definitely, did not disappoint. Loved the addition of the curry powder. Thnx for sharing another great recipe, MissMaggie. Made for the Voracious Vagabonds of ZWT 6. -
Great soup and ready in no time. I made half a batch for lunch today. Hubby especially enjoyed the hit of sherry. I garnished liberally with coriander (cilantro). Thanks for posting. -
I loved this soup... So easy and I added a bit more hot sauce because we like heat. I subbed non-fat half-and-half to reduce the calories a bit and used imitation crab meat (I know, but it was good in this recipe!) The soup is so flavorful that the crab seems to be more for texture anyway. Makes a great lunch. ZINGO ZWT 6 Unrulies Under the Influence - Thank you

Okay -- it is quite interesting to have to talk about one"s self -- and so hard to be humble::))
I was born in Australia. I am one of 9 kids -- actually right in the middle which makes me the most interesting and cool as well as the one who has "it all together"::)) - or at least I think so!
Now that I am retired, I love to cook. No more do I get home around 8.30 at night and think -- Oh hell, I have to cook dinner.
I belong to the most amazing family. My Mum -- who passed away in July 2008 at the ripe old age of 90 always used to say -- "keep the family together" -- and we do. It is so easy to pick up the phone and tell my siblings I love them.
I am lucky that a lot of my friends are great cooks, so we often swap recipes. I am exceedingly jealous of those who are 'natural' cooks and don't need a recipe. I am the opposite.
Besides cooking, I like the theatre, music, gardening, trying to paint -- another thing that doesn't come naturally -- and meeting people.
My DH was born in America and together we have two toy poodles -- Elliott & Connery -- a cat named NUC (passed away March 2009) -- four chickens and a few koy fish.
DH is GRADUALLY taking an interest in my vegetable garden - one can only live in hope::))
