Aunt Nancy’s Cream of Crab Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 25 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
My sister Nancy is one of the best cooks I know. When my daughter was getting married, I put together a cookbook of her favorite family recipes—Nancy's soup was a must-have. Our family often had this with a salad before Christmas Eve services. —Lynne German, Buford, Georgia
