I think its absolutely delicious if I do say so myself! But the best part is that this whole recipe made 10 cups, and each one cup serving comes in at 104 calories, 4.2 fat, 5.8 carbs, .4 fiber and 10.2 protein! Nice!
I found my crab-meat recipe from epicurious.com, with a few exceptions:
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (left that out!)
- 2 tablespoons butter (I reduced to 1)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (I forgot!)
- 1/2 pound lump crab meat (I used immitation crab)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayo
- 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
- 1 heaping tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 diced jalapeno (not in original recipe)
- dash of Tabasco ( I added!)
This is four servings: each serving comes in at 139 caloires, 8 fat, 4.3 carbs, .75 fiber and 9 protein – nice!
All I did was saute the peppers and garlic until they softened and let them cool. Then I just mixed everything else in and mixed well – so simple!

My friend and I also walked for 45 minutes at lunch – so perfect outside!
Okay, lunch break is over in 1 minute and I need to clean up my dishes – come back tonight for BBQ Turkey Breast with Grilled Twice Baked Potatoes!
Great looking soup – I have almost a full package of orzo in my cupboard, and that would be a great way to use some up.
I am so happy to hear that you tried it and even more happy that you and your friend enjoyed it. I will pass this onto my honey, he will be thrilled!!
I love using the imitation meat in salads – I think it holds up a lot better. Yours looks delicious and I love the hard boiled egg in there!
I looooove that kind of soup. But for some reason I’ve never made it before, even though it’s simple! Just always thought of it as a “restaurant thing” I guess. You’ve inspired me to take matters into my own hands!
Love the soup!
I totally have to make a pot!
love the soup/sandwich combo – it looks so good!
Mmmmm, looks super delicious Biz!
That soup looks great, and the nutritionals aren’t bad either!
