This quick green crab noodle soup is made using Basic Rehydrated Green Crab Stock. You can also use other stocks (Simple Green Crab Stock or Green Crab Stock for Chowders) that I have on this blog. This noodle soup recipe is made for 1 portion but may be adjusted to double or more. This dish is versatile and easily adaptable, use what you have or prefer. Let your imagination and food preference dictate what you add to this soup.
