Delicious! I followed the advice of another poster and added 1/3 a cup of brown sugar and about tripled the amount of Old Bay and it made a HUGE difference in the taste..gives it a richer flavor. Also, adding actual pieces of steamed crab is a great addition, and really adds to the soups flavor. The soup will taste better the day after you make it, so you may want to refrigerate it immediatly and then have it for a meal the next day.

Pretty good. I let it cook in the crockpot for a long time (36 hours) to give it a less watery taste.

Wow!! This soup is fabulous. I made a few changes based on what other reviewers suggested: added celery, sauteed onion, celery and carrots in some olive oil prior to adding other ingredients, also added potatos. My husband went to school in Annapolis, MD so he has had his share of MD Crab Soup - this rivals the best of them and he can't stop raving. Thanks for a great recipe!

I really did not like this recipe at all. It had very little flavor and I had to add so much more seasonings. I will not make this again.

This is my recipe, somehow the cubed potatoes went missing from the ingredients. Sorry. If you are from Maryland you should increase the Old Bay, Others may not have the palate for that much spice/seasoning. When time permits, I start with homemade beef stock. It is all the better. Don't forget, it is even better the next day!

This was my first attempt at MD crab soup, and I was very pleased! Froze it in bowls and it heats up marvelously for lunch!

This is a great recipe and everyone loves it. I do modify it a bit by adding tomato juice instead of water.

This is almost identical to the recipe my family has used for years. One of the main differences is that I add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 Tbsp. of Worchestire sauce. It may sound strange but it really gives it a "richer" flavor!

Excellent recipe...I live in Maryland and crab soup is our specialty. This was fantastic and I added some leftover crab claws that were already covered in old bay.

We live in MD and I have been searching for a good crab soup recipe. This is fantastic and best of all, easy to prepare. I omitted the lima beans and added celery instead. I also added more Old Bay and a dash of crushed red pepper to give it some extra zing. I'll definitely be making this one for friends and family!

This recipe is close but needs a little help. I cubed up some beef to add to the soup and instead of adding the vegetables recomended I used frozen soup mix of vegetables. That gives you the okra, corn, green beans which are more traditional of maryland crab soup.

This was just okay. I want something with a stronger tomato base. This is more like vegetable soup with crab.

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).

Wow, eating this soup made me feel like I was home again! It was so good. Just needed abit more old bay to spice it up, and I let it cook longer. ok, so it's not quite what mom used to make but it was pretty close. I'll be making it again.
