Creamy soup with crab, potatoes, and asparagus. I made this on a whim one Sunday when crabmeat was on sale at the store. It comes together quickly and is very tasty! You could easily replace the asparagus with another vegetable with equally good results.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
  • Choose the right type of crab: There are many different types of crab, but not all of them are suitable for crab soup. Blue crab and Dungeness crab are two popular choices.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat is delicate, so it's important not to overcook it. Overcooked crab meat will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good choices.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to crab soup. Some good choices include celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Old Bay seasoning is a popular choice for crab soup.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Crab soup is delicious served with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and add a bit of texture to the soup.
