AWARD-WINNING MARYLAND CREAM OF CRAB SOUP



Award-Winning Maryland Cream of Crab Soup image

This recipe is credited to Ms. Charlese Smith and is the Grand Prize Winner in the Soup Division of the 53rd Annual National Hard Crab Derby held in Crisfield, MD. It is very rich - not a diet soup!! I make this with one cup grated onion sauteed in the butter until very soft to start, before adding the milk and cream, but I didn't want to add that below as this is the original recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat will also work, but it won't have as much flavor.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth. The chicken broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real chicken and has a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition. Common vegetables that are added to crab soup include celery, onions, carrots, and potatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of cayenne pepper for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Phillips Maryland Crab Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious bowl of crab soup that the whole family will enjoy.
