Can imitation crab be used
Hi Michele,
Yes, you may use imitation crab if you would prefer.
I sautéed celery, onions and mushrooms in butter. Add one cup of chicken stock, potatoes and the spices/seasonings cooked til tender. Added half and half, mushroom soup, shrimp, crabmeat and I used cheddar brats.
I just didn't think one cup of milk/half and half would make enough soup for 4 servings.
And I also added frozen corn.
I prefer recipes that don’t use packaged/ canned ingredients. I don’t buy canned soups because most have questionable ingredients. Include in your recipe how to make the mushroom soup.
Just wondered is it easy to double for a larger group?
This is a great recipe to double! Just make sure you start with a large enough pot.
Thank you for this recipe! I saw this on your site about a year ago and have been making it ever since. I don't use crab because it is hard to get here and very expensive so I add extra shrimp and sausage. This is my favourite soup recipe! Quick and easy and we all love it!
I don't know what Old Bay seasoning is. It might be helpful to list the ingredients in that because a lot of people won't know or be able to get that product either.
Old Bay Seasoning should be located in the spice rack section of your market, in a bright yellow tin with a red cap. It’s a proprietary blend of 18 herbs and spices, created in the late 1930 in the Chesapeake Bay Area. Most chain markets ( like Walmart) will have it.
