This soup was a big disappointment. The crab was tough and overcooked, and the greens were mushy. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'spicy'. I found it to be very mild. I added some cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover crab. I usually make a big batch of crab cakes, and then I use the leftover crab to make this soup.

I've made this soup several times now, and I always tweak it a little bit. I add more Cajun spices, and I like to use a mix of crab and shrimp.

I'm not a fan of greens, but I loved this soup. The crab and spices were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the greens.

I added some corn and potatoes to this soup, and it turned out great! It's a hearty and filling meal that's perfect for a cold winter day.

I made this soup with shrimp instead of crab, and it was still delicious. I think any type of seafood would work well in this recipe.
