This soup is a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I always have some leftover after a crab feast, and this is a great way to use it up.

I made a vegan version of this soup by using vegetable broth and tofu instead of crab meat. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to crab, so I used shrimp instead. It was still delicious!

I had a hard time finding fresh chives at the store. I ended up using dried chives and they worked just fine.

I found the crab meat to be a little bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my soup turned out a little bit bland. I think I might have added too much water.
