Maryland Crab Soup
Maryland Crab Soup
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
3 cups water
1 cup fresh Lima beans
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 cup carrots (sliced)
2 tbsp. chopped onion
2 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning
2 cups beef broth
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 lb. blue crab crabmeat
10 blue crab claws, steamed
1 gallon water
Add the whole tomatoes, water, Lima beans, corn, sliced carrots, chopped onion, Old Bay seasoning, beef broth and red pepper flakes to a pot. Heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Bring 1 gallon water to boil. Add crab claws and boil 6 minutes. Drain crab and set aside. Stir crabmeat and crab claws into tomato and vegetable mixture. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes longer. Serve hot.
*Johnna’s tip: Serve with crackers or maybe even a side of celery (*if you’re into celery, it’s not a JKGF fave, but it works well with this soup…) There is nothing better than fresh seafood soup. We know seafood can be a bit pricey especially when you can usually only use it for one dish, but the flavor and taste makes it soo worth the while. Go to your local seafood market and get the freshest crabmeat you can buy, your mouth will thank you later:-)

I can not wait to read far more from you. That is actually a terrific site.
Thank you!
I think that what you said made a bunch of
sense. But, think about this, what if you were to create
a killer title? I am not saying your content is not good., but what if you
added a post title to possibly get a person’s attention? I mean Maryland Crab Soup :
Johnna Knows Good Food Restaurants, Drinks
& Recipes Washington, D.C. is kinda plain. You ought to glance at Yahoo’s
front page and note how they create news titles to get people to click.
You might try adding a video or a pic or two to get people interested about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.
