2. Blend: Place the corn, chopped green onion, and half-and-half cream in a food processor. Pulse for a second or two, just until the onion is finely chopped. You want to maintain some texture in the soup, so avoid over-blending.

3. Cook: Transfer the blended mixture into a saucepan. Add in the canned crab meat and a pinch of black pepper. Stir in the butter for an added richness.

4. Simmer: Set the saucepan over low heat and let the soup gently simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.

5. Serve: Once the soup is heated through and reaches your desired consistency, it’s time to serve! Ladle the piping hot soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or a drizzle of cream if desired.

6. Enjoy: Gather around the table with your loved ones and indulge in the comforting goodness of this Jiffy Corn Crab Soup. Each spoonful is a burst of flavors that will warm your soul and transport you to the bustling streets of New Orleans.

Tips:

• Fresh is Best: While canned crab meat works perfectly fine for this recipe, if you have access to fresh crab meat, don’t hesitate to use it. The flavor will be even more exceptional!
• Texture Matters: Be mindful not to over-blend the soup mixture. A few quick pulses are all you need to incorporate the ingredients while still maintaining a chunky texture.
• Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add more black pepper for a spicy kick or a dash of Cajun seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
• Serve with Love: Serve this soup alongside some crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
