I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this soup. The crab flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

Followed the recipe exactly and it came out bland. I had to add more salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning to taste.

Quick and easy to make, this soup is perfect for a weeknight meal. I liked that I could use canned goods, which saved me time.

This corn and crab bisque was a hit at my dinner party. Everyone loved the creamy texture and the blend of flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

Amazing soup! I did not have Old Bay seasoning so I added a touch of cayenne and paprika, and it turned out wonderfully. I also used frozen corn and crab, and it still tasted incredibly fresh. Will definitely make again!
