For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for spiciness. Fresh crab meat can be substituted for imitation crab, but it will change the overall flavor profile. To make this vegetarian, substitute the crab with cannellini beans, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
