    this soup is very good, but the imiatation crab makes it a little too sweet for me. Very rich and filling though, and this recipe makes an absolute ton.. if you're not feeding a crowd, plan to cut it in half, or plan on freezing half for a later date. I added red pepper flakes to jazz it up a bit. - 6/20/11

    This looks yummy, and easy...making this one tonight.
    Made this one...totally awesome. I added some orange bell pepper and some sweet onion, a touch of salt. My picky husband even wants it again.
    Also, topped with a couple of crispy slices of turkey bacon. Yum. - 9/11/10
