Aunt Nancy's Cream of Crab Soup image

My sister Nancy is one of the best cooks I know. When my daughter was getting married, I put together a cookbook of her favorite family recipes-Nancy's soup was a must-have. Our family often had this with a salad before Christmas Eve services. -Lynne German, Buford, Georgia
