crab soup recipe?

Question

i am in search of the recipe for crab soup, of course with a nice southern coking style to it, this will be my first time attempting to make crab soup, so any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I used this recipe but left out the sherry and I used imitation crab. It was great and very easy. It only takes a few minutes to make. It's as fast as making a can of soup. Oh I used Cream of Asparagus and Cream of Celery soups but I imagine that you could use any of your favorite cream soups.
