Chef Bill-I am Chef #718230's friend who hosted the dinner party and served your soup in bread bowls (homemade from scratch of course)--I totally agree it was AMAZING! I used a blend of snow and king crab that I shelled myself to add to the quality of this dish. I can't say enough about how wonderful it was, and relatively easy to make, especially if I had used imitation or canned. Thank you!

Delicious, Heart-warming soup! I used 12 oz of imitation crab meat and it was perfect! My grocer's parsley looked gross, so I skipped the parsley but didn't miss it. I must say I was hesitant to use soy sauce in a comfort food recipe because I've never used it in anything buy Asian dishes, but it is perfect. I also used Trader Joe's frozen corn which we think is the sweetest, closest to fresh corn out there. Thanks William, I will definitely make this one again!

This was very easy to make and it tasted great! I used imitation crabmeat and added chopped avocados after it was done. I also added a little bit more soy sauce. Next time I will try adding cooked and cubed potatoes. It was a very thick and filling chowder. I will definitely make this for my family again.

Well another 5 stars for Uncle Bill!... whipped up a double batch of this wonderful soup today, only I added cooked shrimp in place of crabmeat, and added in 2 cans of creamed corn, I used green onions from my garden (the last ones of the season!), and added just a wee bit more soy sauce than stated, I love recipes with soy sauce! also threw in some cooked cubed potatoes. This soup just fit the bill for a rainy cold day served up with crusty homemade dinner rolls, yummmmm! anyone that is in search of a great soup recipe, this one is it! thanks so much Uncle Bill for sharing another winner, this soup is delicious!...Kitten:)
