Recipe Monday....

I was never the biggest mexican food fan.
Growing up in norway the only mexican I remember was so Taco kits that didn't really taste much.
But off course moving to New York I quickly understood that mexican food is more then Taco kits.
It can be very elegant and simple, clean tastes and well prepared.
I even started cooking some mexican at home.
One of my favorites is this cold crab soup.
Its so flavorful and really easy to make.
I'm really in the mood for something spicy today, so Im off to the market to get the ingredients for this soup.
Enjoy.
