When you want to push the boat out, Chili Crab Soup is a dish to impress. The silky body of the soup with the meat of the crab and chili equals beautiful. I have served this as a starter and as a main dish for a light meal. You can make the soup part in advance and add the crab once reheated.

A typical south-western soup that tastes superb. The crab meats gives the soup a hidden body.
