Ingredients Required to make Thai Green Curry Crab Soup

2 tbsp cooking oil (we tend to use peanut oil)

1 small chopped onion

8 mushrooms, sliced

3 cloves minced garlic

1/2 inch chunk of ginger, grated

3 tbsp green curry paste

1 14-fl-oz can of coconut milk (400 ml)

2 tbsp fish sauce

1 red Thai chili, halved

4 cups of chicken broth (can also use vegetable or seafood broth)

1 cup of halved snow or snap peas

1 lb of Cameron’s Lump Maryland Crab Meat

2 green onions, sliced

2 tbsp of fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 of a fresh lime

salt to taste

Thai Green Curry Crab Soup Cooking Directions

Here’s how to make crab soup. To start, you will need to heat your oil in a medium sized pot over medium heat. Once the oil is heated, add in your onions and cook until they are translucent. Add your sliced mushroom to the onions and cook for a couple of minutes. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add in your minced garlic, grated ginger and green curry paste. Cook just until you can start to smell the herbs, being careful not to burn your garlic.

To the pot, add your can of coconut milk, the fish sauce, and the halved Thai chili. Cook this just for a minute or two and then add in your 4 cups of chicken broth. Let your soup simmer on low for about 15 minutes to meld all of the lovely flavors together.  

Keeping the temperature on low, add in your snow peas. You want them to be hot, but you still want them to have a crunch when you bite into them. Heat them for a few minutes in the soup and then add your Lump Maryland crab meat and squeeze in the juice of a 1/4 lime. Let the crab just heat through and then taste your soup. If your broth had no salt added, you may need to add some salt at this point.

Now ladle your soup into bowls and top with some sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro. You should get about 4 adult servings of soup from this recipe. 

A great accompaniment to this crab soup is some lightly toasted crusty french bread with butter. If it’s dinner time and you want a more substantial meal, steamed rice or cooked rice noodles would work well with the soup too.

The light vibrant flavors of this soup are perfect to showcase the beautifully succulent and delicate crab meat. We hope you enjoy this tasty crab soup recipe! Be sure to post pictures of your Thai green curry crab soup and tag us on Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.
