Maryland Crab Soup

"This recipe has a lighter beef flavor than most recipes I've tried. I have never liked MD Crab Soup because of how much it reminds me of a beef and veggie soup...UNTIL I tried it recently at a local restaurant and I loved it. You can taste the Old Bay® and the beef, yet neither are overwhelming. What you taste is a wonderful light blend of crab, beef, & veggies. My boyfriend is from MD, and he said it was the best MD Crab Soup he's EVER had."

  1. I followed this recipe loosely. I used five cups of tomato juice instead of water and omitted the tomatoes. I also used two cans of mixed veggies instead of the veggies and potatoes. I also omitted the onion. I only added a tablespoon of old bay as that was spicy enough for me (actually it was a bit too spicy). We enjoyed this.

I absolutely love to cook!! I love to create new dishes and experiment with new recipes I find. My cooking style is a bit on the gourmet side and I love a challenging dish! Watching the expressions on the faces of my family and friends as they take their first bite of my creations is what brings me joy. When I see their eyes light up and that smile spread across their lips...I know I've done my job well. Cooking brings me joy!
