Crab and Asparagus Soup

I got this recipe from an Indonesian woman magazine which I do not know when it was published. Infact I have just teared and kept it for years 😉 Due to practically reason this recipe has been modified. In original recipe stated, I shall use broth, in my practice I use normal water. And I also add garlic to satisfy my taste. The result is superb!! 😉

Instructions

Put the water in a deep saucepan and bring to boil.
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a frying pan, stir fry the onion and garlic. Stirring all the time until fragrant.
Add the crab meat, pepper and salt. Stir until the crab well cooked.

Pour in the beaten egg over it and stir quickly to scramble.
