This was delicious and my 6-year-old loved it! Living near Dallas, TX, though, crab was really expensive. I think it would still be good with a less expensive fish.

Very good - my 5 year old even enjoyed it- rich and creamy. Might have been even better if it was thicker.

As a she crab soup lover who lives in Charleston, SC, this is not anywhere near as good as it should be.

This soup rocks! Tasted just like our favorite crab soup we eat here at the Jersey Shore!! I did alter the recipe due to what i had on hand..first sauteed about a 1/4 C each of yellow onion, celery, red pepper, and mushroom until they were soft then blended them together into a smooth consistency..followed rest of recipe but I cut in half.. subsituted clam juice mixed with water for the fish stock...and used skim milk and half and half instead to cut the calories. Added extra sherry, also lemon juice, and a bunch of old bay blackening seasoning to your taste..just a touch of cayenne pepper gave it the right spicyness! Omitted the egg because we were out, but i might try them next time. Thanks for this recipe! Now i can eat my favorite soup without the guilt!

My wife and I made this soup the other night and we both really enjoyed it. Unfortunately she forgot the green onion so we had to use regular white onions and it still turned out great. Thanks.

Great soup! Would have liked it to be a little thicker because we served it in a bread bowl, but it was delicious. We added some old bay to make it a little spicy, substituted clam juice for fish stock. We used some egg yolk, but probably should have tried what the recipe called for.

This recipe is delicious! I left out the egg yolks and lemon juice, but I'm sure it's great with them. I wouldn't recommend using imitaion crab, even though it's much cheaper. It doesn't have the same texture as the real stuff.

I substituted clam juice for fish stock after reading a review. I did not add eggs. This was a very light soup. My husband loved it! I will make this again and again.

I think this was a great base recipe; I don't know whether or not I did something wrong but initially the soup tasted very bland after I was finished making it, so I tweaked it just a little. I used all of the ingredients, except the egg yolks, which I compromised and just used 2 (each). For the fish stock I used Kitchen Basics (excellent company for stocks, btw) Seafood stock. Before the last step I pureed the celery and green onions with an immersion blender as suggested by other users. Towards the end I added about 5 drops of lime juice (I don't know if that did anything but my boyfriend doesn't like a strong fishy flavor so adding some probably didn't hurt), about a teaspoon of cayenne (we like our bisque spicy), about 5 drops of Worcestershire , OH and I ended up adding about 2 teaspoons of this very thick marinara I had a made a few days ago, so I suggest using a little bit of tomato paste. Then the bisque was a little watery so I had to add a slurry made with about a tablespoon of cornstarch. This ended up making an excellent bisque, with almost a dip-like consistency.

This tasted like milk the first time I served it. I saved the leftovers and had it for lunch the next day. Then it was the best soup I've had. It was wonderful after the flavors melded. I suggest you make it ahead of time, chill and reheat. I did not use the eggs and used chicken stock for fish stock

This is the closest I have had to the She Crab Soup in Charleston. We do like it spicy so I added 2 tsp old bay and 1/2 tsp cayenne

It's better than any soup I've EVER made! I chose it because one reviewer said it tasted just like the she crab soup @ Hilton Head Island. That's an understatement! It was better than most we've had there. I highly recommend. And don't skip the egg's at the end, it gives it that authentic flavor.

This made for a really good soup. It didn't really taste like the she crab soup I once had in Myrtle Beach, but this was good nonetheless. I used chicken stock instead of the fish stock, but I added about a tablespoon of fish sauce to the soup to give it that seafoody flavor. For the crab meat I used backfin.

This is wonderful! I did add a little more flour, and some old bay. Didn't have sherry, so I used a Merlot wine instead. The eggs really do add something, so I recommend you try them. Needed a lettle salt also, but it's a great recipe, and very easy. Thanks

Excellent recipe! I used clam juice, omitted the egg and served with hot sauce and sprinkled old bay on top when in bowls. Everyone loved it, even my brother, who is a very picky eater. I used a hand blender to puree the celery and onion before adding crab meat. If my brother had seen veggies, he would not have tried it! Definitely a keeper!
