Even though it takes about 40 minutes to prepare, this recipe is VERY easy. You literally just stand by the stove, stir, and occasionally scoop in additional broth. I'm currently in Italy and made this recipe in a 5'X 5' foot kitchen! I didn't have asparagus or crab, so I substituted mini shrimp and broccoli, and it was great! Even better on day two when all the flavors congealed. I will definitely be making this again. It would probably be really good w/ chicken in it too. It's a great base recipe.
