I'm part of a Notre Dame club and our trip this past year was to see them play Navy at Baltimore, MD. I made this recipe for our tailgate party and it was the hit of the day. I changed the amount cooking for to 30 servings and instead of 3 lbs of crab I used 4 lbs. Almost everyobdy that tried it said that it was the best MD crab soup they've have. We're from near the Philly area so most people have tried this type of recipe. I think it will be made for our superbowl party...

Scrum diddly umptious. I added about twice the Old Bay and kicked it up a notch with some cayenne powder.

This was my first attempt at making soup and it was winner! I used the frozen veggies instead and it worked out perfect, and it was much easier. I also used crabs that I picked, including the seasoning & 'mustard'. I left the Old Bay on the claws too. I made cheddar garlic biscuits from this site, oh and it was even better the second day! I even froze some for when I need a fix later in the season :)

I did the photo for this soup. I used green beans and petite and regular diced tomatoes instead of the lima beans and stewed tomatoes. Watch the salt level with beef broth (I used cubes and it was a bit salty) and season to taste with Old Bay. Simmer longer for better flavor. This is very similar to the Old Bay recipe listed as well. Being from Maryland and now living elsewhere, this brought me back to home!

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 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!

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!

Very good recipe. As being raised on the Patuxent River, I thought it could of used a little more crab meat. The taste was very good.

This was fine. My husband and I are from Southern Maryland where this soup comes from. We both agree that this isn't the best we've had. I think it needs something else to be to our liking. Maybe crushed tomatoes and definitley more Old Bay. I probably used 3 tbsp - but we love the seasoning. It also tasted much better the next day. The first day it just tasted like veggie soup. I'll try this again sometime after tasting some crab soups in our area to see what I might change.

Having never had "the real thing" before, I can't judge whether the flavor of the soup was authentic. It was a bit too spicy for my taste (that was my first time using "Old Bay"). It was quite easy to make (I didn't do the crab claws)and I like the fact that it included lots of veggies.

Wow! Super good. I've made versions of this in the past, but this was the best. I added some haddock and potatos in addition to the regular recipe, becuase we like a meal-like soup. We ate the whole pot in one day! mmmm.

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.

Great recipe. I added a few more veggies. I thought it looked a little slim. I'm glad I did, it definately would have been to much crab meat per bite if I hadn't. What a great soup. We are from the Eastern Shore and everyone agreed this was the best crab soup they ever had. Thank you.

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).
