This was absolutely the best Maryland Crab Soup recipe I have ever made. The taste was truly authentic. I did, however, follow the advise of one other reviewer and added potatoes to the recipe. Awesome!

I have been looking for a Maryland crab soup recipe for so long. This is IT!!!! It tasted almost exactly like the soup from Philips Crab House in Maryland and also available in the frozen dept. of the market. I used lump crab instead of blue and left out the claws. The only thing I would change is to add the cubed potatoes it seems to be missing. It was wonderful!!!!!

This is a wonderful recipe for crab soup. I am from MD and can get this in restaurants but have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time. I do add some extra things, like chopped cabbage, potatoes, and birds eye frozen mixed vegs. I don't like lima beans so I leave them out. The extra veggies make the soup take longer to cook but it is really DELICIOUS! **Try not to use pasteurized or canned crab meat or it will give the soup a "fishy" taste. Fresh crab meat works the best (if you can find it in your area).

Very good! My husband grew up in Baltimore and thought that the idea of lima beans was a bit strange so I omitted those. I did add celery, low sodium beef broth, a cubed potato and extra Old Bay seasoning. Fantastic!

This is the best and easiest tomato-based crab soup I've ever made or eaten. I've made it several times already as we do a lot of crabbing in the summer. I find it much easier to just use a bag of frozen mixed veggies.

This is a great basic crab soup recipe. I use a variety of veggies (onions, celery, corn, green beans, zucchini)to pack the soup full of good-for-you stuff. I also use leftover steamed crabs and place the claws in the soup with the meat. It gives it a little extra flavor (from the Old Bay seasoning). A true Maryland Crab Soup recipe. Thanks Cindy!

I have been cooking Maryland Crab Soup for years. It is my all time favorite. This recipe is fabulous. I added more onion, potatoes and substituted in some crushed tomatoes. The crushed tomatoes give the soup a heartier, more robust texture.

This soup is an AMAZING treat for anyone who loves seafood soups. I used crushed tomatoes instead of stewed, and a bag of classic mixed frozen veggies (corn, green beans, lima beans, carrots, and peas) instead of the other vegetables (adds up to about 3 cups). Though the crab is expensive, this soup is an impressive treat!

Good stuff. I added more Old Bay & used frozen soup veggies, a little black pepper & a clove of garlic. It was awesome & will no doubt be even better tomorrow.
