Preparation
Heat oil in a heavy based saucepan and sauté onions, ginger, garlic and salt for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until half reduced. Stir in chicken consommé and simmer gently for 25 minutes, skimming occasionally to remove impurities. Stir in crabmeat, water chestnuts and soy sauce and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Serve in small soup bowls garnished with spring onions.
TIP: Fresh, cooked crab is available from good fishmongers.
