🦀 MARYLAND CRAB SOUP🦀
Even though I now reside in Delaware, I'm still a Marylander through and through. Born and raised in Bel Air, Maryland, you come to know a lot about seafood from the Chesapeake Bay. Especially, the Maryland Blue Crab. Crabs really do give off the best flavor. I've had my share of steamed crabs, crab cakes, crab imperial, cream of crab soup, and crab stuffed flounder. The one thing that is always constant and takes an art to prepare correctly is Maryland Crab Soup. It has to have the deep rich flavor of beef broth and covered in only the best seasonings, the main one being Old Bay. Another good thing about crab soup is its always better the second day!
So if you're looking for the best recipe for Maryland Crab Soup from a true Marylander, than look no further. As always, let me know if you try it and how you like it!
