Notes
I like to make my own seafood stock. Usually using peelings from crabs, crawfish or crabs. This makes the best soups.
Using crab meat that you have from leftover crabs of your crab boil makes a delicious soup, as the seasoning does impart flavor to the soup.
Another favorite soup of mine is a Copycat Saltgrass Steakhouse Baked Potato Soup, it's the best!
