This is the first time in my life I cook something harder than an omelette.
Surprisingly it was amazing :)
Thanks for keeping it simple!

Now I😊 realize why my kids love cream of crab so much. Must be the sherry!

Bought my daughter a dozen live jumbo crabs for her bday, took them home and spiced and steamed them. The ones she couldn't finish I froze and today I picked all the meat out, and am going to make your recipe today! Looks incredible Mike!

Hello from Scotland, your soup looks beautiful.

[@mikethestewburner5505]

Thanks so much for the view. Wow!!! Scotland...love it. I lived in Dunoon for 4 years. Where from in Scotland?

@@mikethestewburner5505 just across in Paisley. I know Dunoon very well, stunning scenery.

@@Teenibash1969 OMG
..such a small world. Super cool to have a follower over in Scotland. Always looking for Scottish food ideas to film. I was in Dunoon in the late 80s. I recall a nice inn/restaurant on the shore road at Loch Eck..had amazing Beef Wellington

@@mikethestewburner5505 my favourite just now is Wildings near Trump Turnberry. Trio of fish on your plate with a buttery lobster sauce. Nice drive to it past Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire coast.

I’m new at cooking and I really wanted to have a bowl of this. I ended up making it the first time and even my family are in love with this, barely even made to our bowls😂

[@nickscrivanich9708]

I made this and it was outstanding. Can you use this base cream soup with
other shellfish?

[@mikethestewburner5505]

You sure can. Thanks for the view.

[@2manycatsforadime]

fresh crab or canned? Had some deli bluecrab soup and I gagged, local store west coast. Your recipe is basically like I use to make creamed soups, I haven't used sherry though, next time I will.

[@mikethestewburner5505]

I use fresh but can sub with chilled pasteurized canned

[@marisaelskamp4497]

How many people does 1 pound of soup feed?

[@mikethestewburner5505]

Depends on the portion size. An 8oz portion will feed 2 people.
