Tasty and easy! Added some orange bell peppers for color and used seafood stock instead of dissolving the chicken bullion cube in the milk - the extra liquid did some good. Skipped the parsley but added a few dashes of Old Bay - yum!

Good and easy, but too thin. I thickened it up and added spices. Would do more crab next time too.

instructions are not to my liking for the one. the potatoes were raw after 10 minues of "simmering". Next time I would cook the potatoes longer in the microwave. I cant taste the crab either. It's overwhelmed by all the bacon. I recommend DRAINING the fat before you at the onions to the pan, too. I will not make this again. it's NOT "easy" as the recipe claims. Lots of steps and I cook every day. There are better ones out there and they ARE easy.

First of all, I wished that I had read the reviews before trying this recipe and took the advice of others who modified it a bit. I followed this recipe to the T and ended up with really thick chowder, too thick for my taste. I thinned it out at the end with more water. Boullion cube did not dissolve in the milk well, the amount of flour was took much, the potatoes did not cook in the microwave even in 45 seconds, I was so upset. My fiancee went out to get fresh crab and found that I had to modify the recipe so much that it broke up a lot of the crab meat. I definitely will make this again but not without some changes. Overall, great flavor!

This is amazing soup! I boil my potatoes separately, and add them towards the end, and I put 3 cans of crab in, and it is absolutely wonderful! I would not hesitate to serve this to company!

loved it! added extra milk, flour, crab and potatoes. DELISH! I put the cut potatoes in the microwave for 5 minutes first and they were perfect.

This is a delicious and very simple recipe! I love to cook, but by no means am I extremely skilled in the kitchen so I love the fact that I could handle this and create such a wonderful dish :)
