Crock Pot Meals

If you are looking for a soup that is super easy to make and won't take as long as some recipes in the crock pot then this Chinese Crab and Corn Soup is perfect for you.  This recipe was given to me from a friend many years ago and I have adapted it to the crock pot.  This recipe does use canned products so I think of the soup as a kind of fast food substitute.  I like to use fresh ingredients when I can but eating this soup is still better for me than burgers or fried chicken. It is also easy to make for a late night supper.

Chinese Crab and Corn Soup

4 cups of chicken stock

15 oz (420g) can creamed corn

6 oz (170g) can crab meat, drained and flaked

6 shallots,  chopped

1 egg white, whisked

dash or two of soy sauce to taste

Add the first 3  ingredients to the crock pot and half of the shallots.  Stir well and turn on the crock pot slow cooker to low and cook for 1 - 2 hours.  Before serving add the egg and the soy sauce.  Sprinkle the remainder of the shallots over the top and serve with some crackers or toast.   If you like a slightly thicker soup then you can thicken with some cornflour. Serves 4.

I like this Chinese Crab and Corn Soup when I want a nice warming soup but have limited time and I hope you try it and enjoy  it too.  To top it off it's probably one of the easiest soups I make as well.
