Crab Soup Recipe

Crab Soup Recipe

  • 3/4 pound lump crabmeat
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 turnip, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 scallions, minced
  • 1 Aspen Edge low carb beer
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup tomatoes, canned, diced
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  1. In a soup pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the turnips. Saute for about 2 minutes, then add the celery and saute for 1 minute and add the scallions and saute for another minute.
  2. Then add the beer, water, tomatoes (with their juices), Old Bay, lemon pepper and salt. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir well.
  3. Just before serving, add the crabmeat and simmer another 2 minutes. Stir gently; you don't want to break up the crabmeat too much.
