Maryland crab soup is a bit bland, compared to Baltimore crab soup. Baltimore style is spicier and more savory in taste.

How To Make baltimore crab soup

1
Pull claws off crabs, reserved a dozen for soup. Pick meat from crabs and remaining claws/legs(If you don't have freshly steamed crabs, substitute 1 lb. claw meat & 1 lb. backfin meat, canned; note preparation time will only be about 15 minutes in lieu of 1 hour).

2
To an 8-quart crockpot or slow cooker, add ingredients in order given, except water. Fold in reserved crab claws.
3
Fill crockpot or slow cooker to nearly the top with water (or water and beer). Stir. Add hot sauce (optional)
4
Plug in crockpot or slow cooker and turn heat to HIGH. Cover and cook for 2 hours, stirring now and then so vegetables cook evenly. Reduce heat to low and cook for an hour more.
