Crab and Asparagus Soup image

An Asian-inspired soup that is decadent and rich. Perfect for a cold winter day and elegant enough for special holidays. I make this every year at our Christmas gathering, usually doubling the recipe, and my daughter always claims the leftovers to take home.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but I really enjoyed this soup. The asparagus and lemon flavor really shine through.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt next time.
