Ingredients

  • 1 can tomato soup
  • 1 package cream cheese regular or fat-free
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt regular or low fat or fat-free (or you can use mayonnaise if preferred)
  • 1 onion diced I prefer red, but use white if that's all I have
  • 2 packages plain gelatin
  • 10-12 oz canned lump crabmeat drained
  • wax paper to cover molds

Instructions

  • *Have all items ready before beginning-the gelatin sets quickly
  • if you forget to chop the onion and try to do it later (believe me!)
  • In a medium saucepan, you will be constantly stirring with a whisk or wooden spoon.
  • Heat the tomato soup (do not add water)
  • add gelatin and makes sure there are no lumps
  • bring to a boil
  • add cream cheese, yogurt, and onion
  • once everything is heated,
  • remove from heat and stir in crab.
  • Place mixture in the mold sprayed with an oil spray for easy release.
  • Place wax paper to cover dip.
  • Refrigerate 6-8 hours or overnight.
