Prep Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 6–8

A hearty Maryland classic featuring savory tomatoes, vegetables, OLD BAY® seasoning, and flavorful Handy Claw Crab Meat.

  • 16oz lb. Handy Claw Crab Meat
  • ¼ cup onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 1 cup beef or chicken stock
  • 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 lb. frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
  • 1 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. OLD BAY® Seasoning

Dice the onion and chop the fresh parsley. Drain the Handy Claw Crab Meat of any excess liquid and gently check for shells.

  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the diced onion. Cook for 4–5 minutes, or until translucent without browning.
  • Add the stock and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a simmer.
  • Add the frozen vegetables and cook for several minutes, allowing the soup to return to a simmer and the vegetables to heat through.
  • Gently fold in the Handy Claw Crab Meat and season with OLD BAY® Seasoning. Stir just until combined and heated through.
  • Remove from heat and portion into bowls. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
