The soup is a simple recipe I just make a vegetable beef soup and add the crab meat to it. I make around 2 gallons and add at least 2 lbs crab meat. Not much beef and cut very fine about 1/4 to 1/2" cubes. Add Old Bay to taste we use a lot. The traditional Maryland vegetable crab they add bodies and claws I don't just crab meat. I don't like the crab parts in it because trying to eat the parts you have soup dripping off your elbows.
My wife would rather have cream of crab soup.

My uncle used to make it and bring it to parties back in the day and always loved it. I made it years ago following another recipe but I didn’t care for it.

It’s something I’m looking forward to making again this fall.

Old bay is the first and most important ingredient, besides the crab! Lol

 

[HalfSmoked]

Great catch and good eats! Do you ever make crab cakes with your leftovers? I need a good recipe.

I do make crab cakes.

A simple recipe 1 lb crab meat 2 tablespoons mayo or salad dressing you choice
2 tablespoons mustard 1 large egg old bay seasoning to taste. I measure about 2/3 cups to a cake you should get about 5.

Yes no filler in my cakes if you desire to do so you can add fine cracker meal to stiffen them up some but I don't they will be real wet. Fry till golden brown on both sides. If you try to deep fry the will fall apart.

Yup for sure.
My Dad know the creator of Old Bay and he had a small hand in the making.

Growing up in SE La I can appreciate the work that went into catching that hamper of crabs. Down here we boil em in crab boil. I've never eaten steamers but they do look delicious, and the left over meat, I am so jealous.
