Crab Soup

Everyday

Crab soup is a seafood-based dish featuring tender crab meat simmered in a broth or cream base, often enriched with vegetables like celery, onions, and tomatoes. Regional variations include Maryland-style versions with Old Bay seasoning and bisques thickened with cream or sherry. While rich in lean protein, zinc, and selenium from crab, commercial or restaurant versions may contain high sodium levels. Fresh preparations typically emphasize the crab’s sweet, briny flavor while balancing richness with aromatic herbs.
