Maryland Crab Soup
This combination is highly flavorful and very spicy. If you're not sure if you'd like Old Bay Seasoning, use only a tablespoon or less at first.
1 1/2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning, less to taste,see note
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 (6 ounce) cans fancy crabmeat
1 small sliced onion
1 (16 ounce) can seasoned diced tomatoes (we used tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic and oregano)
2 cups chicken broth, thickened with
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2-3 servings

1. Dissolve Old Bay Seasoning in rice vinegar.
2. Add crab meat and marinate for 5 minutes.
3. Put in a medium pot.
4. Add onion.
5. Dissolve cornstarch in chicken broth and add to pot, along with the tomatoes.
6. Simmer covered for 15 minutes and uncovered for another 5 minutes.
7. Ready to serve when heated through

1/2 teaspoon whole cardamom pods
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
4 whole cloves
