Servings: 4
Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of celery soup
- 1 can condensed tomato soup
- 2 6 oz cans lump crab meat drained
- 2 cups half & half
- 1/2 cup cooking sherry
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients EXCEPT the sherry to a soup pot. Whisk them together to evenly combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, but DO NOT boil.
- Cook, simmering, until the soup's heated through. When heated through, whisk in the sherry.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, and serve with garnish of your choice.
Notes
- It's totally optional, but I prefer to not only drain the canned crab but give it a quick rinse as well. This helps remove any canned fishy flavor and let's the crab shine through on its own.
- We like to serve with fresh herbs and oyster crackers
- Want to keep it budget friendly? You can use flaked imitation crab or a cheaper variety of crab in general.
- Prefer a seafood style bisque? Add cooked shrimp, scallops, and/or lobster.
