Last week's threat of below freezing temperatures and school cancellations inspired me to make a steamy batch of Maryland Crab Soup. I chose this authentic Chesapeake Bay recipe from BigSerious because it started with a homemade beef broth developed from braised oxtails and called for at least 2 Tablespoons of Old Bay... I used 3 :) Slowly simmering the braised beef broth brought a delicious depth to the soup. I'm definitely not an expert on Marland Crab Soup. I'm a Mainer, not a Marylander. I was brought up on lobstah and creamy clam chowda not crabs and Old Bay so I humbly relied upon the opinions of my future sister-in-law Erica and other Maryland natives as to whether or not this was a golden nugget recipe. I'm relieved to say that "perfect" was a common response. GNG Tip: I used a 32 oz. box of Kitchen Basics seafood stock in place of some of the water the recipe calls for.
Life, like food, is better when shared! GNG is adventurous in the kitchen, and in life, and is collecting golden nuggets wherever she goes to share with you. If you are hungry for life, or simply hungry, stop by her kitchen and see what’s cooking. Take a golden nugget and pass it on.
