Creamy Tomatoes & Crab Soup

Zesty Tomato Crab Bisque

Made: October 2, 2011

Ingredients:
- 2 cans (19 oz each) Progresso Vegetable Classics hearty tomato soup
- 1 can (7 oz) Old El Paso chopped green chilies
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
- 3/4 cup chopped cooked crabmeat
- Fresh thyme sprigs, if desired

Directions:
- In a 3-quart saucepan, heat soup and chilies to boiling over medium heat
- Reduce head to low
- Beat in cream and seasoning with whisk until blended
- Cook just until hot; do not boil
- Stir in crabmeat
- Ladle soup into individual small mugs
- Top each serving with thyme

I used about 1/2 of the recipe. A family of 3 doesn't really need 12 servings. But having it as a smaller size made it full of crabmeat! So it was worth it. :)

I didn't use chilies, I had some salsa verde, so I added in a teaspoon of that for a kick along with the Old Bay seasoning. I also didn't serve it with thyme as Rob's serving would be the only one with it. But it came out nice and creamy. I thought it had a nice flavor. :)
