Homemade Crab Soup No Heavy Cream Or Cream Of Soups Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend flour and hollandaise sauce mix with 2 cups half-and-half.

• Once boiling, add in the corn, old bay, and bay leaf. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, uncovered.
• Gently stir in the milk, cubed cream cheese, crab meat, and any necessary salt/pepper.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Remove the bay leaf, grab some saltines or oyster crackers, and enjoy!
• **Some helpful hints: The clam juice is found in a bottle in my grocery store, not in a can. Also, the frozen corn doesn't need to be thawed before adding to the soup, and canned corn can be substituted. Finally, 1/3 less fat cream cheese is sometimes called "Neufchatel" cheese.
