Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups Milk
1 quart Half & half
2 pints Heavy whipping cream (1 quart)
4 tbsp Cornstarch
1/4 cup Cold water
1 to 2 lbs Maryland jumbo lump crab meat (Tip: Use crab claw meat to make it chunkier)
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
3 tsp Old Bay Seasoning (Use more based on your taste preferences)
1/4 cup Butter
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Pepper

Steps:

  • Bring milk, half & half, and heavy whipping cream to a boil.
  • When it starts to boil, make a paste (or slurry) in a separate bowl with the cornstarch and cold water. Be sure to whisk well until the paste is fully blended.
  • Add the paste to the soup and bring back to a boil for 1 minute, mixing constantly.
  • If the soup seems too thin, make more paste with 1 T. corn starch & 1 T. cold water. Mix into the soup and heat through again, mixing constantly.
  • Keep adding the 1 tablespoon cornstarch/1 tablespoon cold water paste until your soup gets to the preferred thickness.
  • Then add your crab meat.
  • Adding crab meat after the cornstarch paste is so that you don't break up the delicate chunks of crab while whisking the cornstarch.
  • Add fresh parsley, Old Bay Seasoning, butter, salt and pepper and heat through.
  • Add extra crab meat & Old Bay Seasoning based on your preferences.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Soup is ready to serve.

WAYNE'S AWARD-WINNING MARYLAND CRAB SOUP



Wayne's Award-Winning Maryland Crab Soup image

I've often spoken of all the interesting and wonderful people who cross my path. Well, Wayne Brokke is one of those people. Wayne had seen me on QVC several times, and when the opportunity arose for a trip to Savannah, he made a special point of coming in to meet me. We had a great time getting to know each other. Wayne is the owner of Wayne's Bar-B-Que in Baltimore, where he also does cooking segments for a local television station. When I mentioned to Wayne that I was writing another cookbook, he graciously offered to share a few of his recipes. They are Wayne's Cranberry Sauce, and the following recipe, which is a five-time winner of the Maryland Old Bay Soupstakes Critics and People's Choice Award. Thanks, Wayne, and continued good luck to you!

Yield yields about 8 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 quarts water
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
6 soup crabs, or three small live crabs, cleaned and rinsed
3 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning, or more to taste
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1 1/2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen
1 1/2 cups lima beans, fresh or frozen

Add the carrots, celery, corn, green beans, lima beans, cabbage, and onion, bring to a low boil, and cook for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook until tender.

AWARD WINNING MARYLAND CREAM OF CRAB SOUP RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Award Winning Maryland Cream of Crab Soup Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound Maryland jumbo lump crab meat, divided
1 pint milk
1 quart half and half
2 pints heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, divided
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch, plus more if needed to make a paste
cold water or cornstarch to make a cornstarch paste

Steps:

  • Prepare the lump crab meat by gently picking pick through to remove as much cartilage as you can find. Try to preserve as much of the lumpy texture as you can. A small side bowl of room temperature water will help to get the cartilage off your fingers as you work. Discard cartilage. Set crab meat aside. Bring milk, half and half, and heavy whipping cream to a boil. Add 1/3 crab meat, fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, butter, salt, and pepper. When it starts to boil, make a paste of cornstarch, and cold water, tap or otherwise, or cold chicken stock. Start by added the cornstarch to a small bowl and slowly whisking in the liquid until a paste forms. Whisk the paste into the soup to prevent lumps and whisk until the soup has thickened. If lumps do form continue whisking until they have been whisked out. Add another 1/3 of the crab meat, stirring gently to preserve the lumps of the lump crab meat, just until crab is heated through. Soup should be fairly thick. Garnish with remaining crab and a dash of remaining Old Bay.
