Maryland-Style Crab Soup
Try this hearty soup that incorporates the best of vegetable soup and flavorful crab. I break whole crabs and claws into pieces and drop them into the soup to cook, then serve it with saltine crackers and a cold beer. —Freelove Knott, Palm Bay, Florida

Admittedly I haven't tried this, but crab has a delicate flavor. I'm thinking it might get lost amid all the seasonings and vegetables. This would probably taste better with a heartier protein, such as sausage, or would even stand alone without any meat or crab.
Where's the crab in the ingredients list? Does no one do any editing before printing these recipes? I've noticed many recipes with ingredients missing....
This is the first time I made a red base crab soup, and I will definitely be making this again. It is spicy, but I like spicy. Just put less seafood seasoning if you don't like spicy. I added 4 extra cups of water and used Taste of Homes beef stock concentrate. This is a keeper.
Lived in Maryland for a number of years and this is just how I remember crab soup. Recipe needs more liquid. I use a carton of vegetable stock instead of the water.
I have been making crab soup for many years, this recipe is by far the best. I did have to add more liquid to it. I will be using the recipe more, thanks!
