Cravin’ Crabs

Homemade Maryland crab soup at Cravin' Crabs in Baltimore

Soup season is back. From November through April we make two homemade crab soups at Cravin’ Crabs: Maryland Crab and Cream of Crab. Grab a cup on the way home, or take a quart for the whole house.

Two soups, two kinds of Maryland

Maryland Crab soup is the red one: a tomato broth loaded with vegetables and crab, with the kick Marylanders expect. It’s the one people grew up on.

Cream of Crab in all three sizes.

Cream of Crab is the rich one: thick, creamy and full of crab. On a cold day it’s hard to beat.

Reheating leftovers

Keep leftover soup in the fridge and warm it slowly in a pot over low to medium heat, stirring often. Go especially easy with Cream of Crab: keep it at a gentle simmer so it doesn’t scorch or separate. More tips in our guide to storing and reheating crab.
