I really didn't like this soup. The tomato soup was very overpowering. I tried adding cayenne pepper to balance the sweetness, and some other herbs but there was no saving it. I couldn't even finish my bowl. It's in the fridge now, I'll give it another try because I hate wasting food, but I am not looking forward to finishing it :(

I used a can of condensed cream of celery soup and end result came out great! Glad I only used 8 oz of crab meat because I do not eat crab meat often and felt as though the crab flavor was hiding the tomato and celery flavors so I plan to use even less crab meat next time with the same amount of everything else. FYI for milk, 15 ounces = 1.8 cups. Also, before making soup I sauteed a handful of chopped red bell pepper, carrots and green onions. Thank you for a quick & tasty, versatile keeper!

Delicious and so easy! A bonus that it's all ingredients I typically have in the house. Good as is or can dress it up. I sauted some celery and garlic, added some cooking sherry and tabasco. A little on the sweet side but soooo good.

Okay, so this is pretty much the opposite of a made-from-scratch bisque (which I've made before) - canned soups and not even real crab. Still, for what it is, I thought it was pretty tasty, and very easy to make. I made it exactly as written, and have one minor complaint: a whole bunch of green onions is way too much, in my opinion - half that amount would suffice.

This is a very simple and quick recipe but it needs some additional things to give it some taste. I used buttermilk instead of regular milk. (It gave the soup a nice consistency.) Then I added two cloves of garlic, one small onion, some fresh red peppers - just a few small pieces, a can of corn, a drop of Worecestershire sauce, a dash of basil, two tbs of Old Bay Seasoning, fresh ground pepper, and just a dash of celery salt. Season to taste. I cooked on medium heat until it started to bubble, then I let is simmer for about 20 minutes. It turned out delicious! It's a keeper if you add the extras. Enjoy!

One of the best crab bisques I have ever had, definitely restaurant quality. However the exact recipe presented here looked a little bland so I added: 1 clove garlic, 2 jalapenos minced, 1/4 c. chives, 1 c. frozen corn, and substituted heavy cream for the milk.

I have made this recipe for social function s at church and it is always met by rave reviews. It is also highly requested. What I have done to personalize this recipe is to also add minced clams and baby shrimp along with the crab. To add an extra flare you can also add lobster. It makes it a total seafood bisque. Tastes Great!
