*slurrrrrp*
Thank you, Louis Kemp Crab Delights®, for sponsoring this post!
Hey Hi, friends! Happy Tuesday! I haven’t talked to you in days, and it feels like an eternity. But, I brought soup (and what a darn good soup it is!) to help us get back into the groove.
Today’s post is sponsored by Louis Kemp Crab Delights®! We are huge fans of their Crab Delights, and when I made this Creamy Crab and Wild Rice Soup with their crab meat, we cozied up to the soup-pot and devoured all that was in it.
Tender carrots, peas, and wild rice are also making an appearance in this delicious recipe that resembles a creamy chicken noodle soup – but it isn’t, obviously – and can be made with minimal prep in very little time. Did I hear an Amen?!
I think what I’m trying to tell you is that this recipe is so simple, it’s almost funny. But it’s gonna become a classic! I can feel it.
Get this. So my plan here was to use up some leftover chicken, buuuuut my deli-drawer (I love my fridge!) decided otherwise – Crab Delights or else! I chose the former and ate half of the crab meat while standing there, thinking of what I could make with it for dinner.
Did you know that Louis Kemp Crab Delights are made from Alaska Pollock and real snow crab? Alaskan Pollock is a highly sustainable Alaskan (maaaaade in the USAaaaa!) caught whitefish and it’s what they use in fish sticks.
Also, it’s a delicious healthy snack, it’s gluten free, low calorie, and the best part? It’s ready-to-eat! open mouth ➡ insert.
It can also be found in my oh-so-darn-good Bacon, Crab and Avocado Salad.
THE MOST important, crucial part of this meal is obviously…the veggies. KIDDING! It’s the missing crackers.
Okay, so, uhm, kidding again, BUT I have to tell you that my other half does not like crackers in his soup… weirdo!
I’m all like, heeeey, crackers and soup! It’s like Rachel and Ross!
And he’s all like, nooooo, it’s all in your head.
I’m done arguing.
Annnnyways… this is so good, you guyz. Just like that *snapping fingers*, you will forever and ever be in love and wedded to this bowl of gorgeous and soul warming, crab soup.
