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 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!
