Crab and Sweetcorn Soup

Brian Holley's Note:

A firm favourite from the Chinese restaurant that you can make at home in minutes. This is the cheats version, so easy and tasty. This recipe uses crab sticks, not whole crab, and a few crab claws. Makes a great starter to your Chinese meal. If you don't have crab claws, a few peeled prawns also work well with this dish.

Was really tempted to exclude the crab claws, but was very happy that I didn't, 'cause my guests went ape over them ~ Go figure! I guess I just don't always have my eye on the ball when it comes to presentation! GREAT TASTING SOUP, & a definite keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Let's Get Souped Up Tag]
