Instructions

Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Once melted, add onion, carrots, and celery and cook stirring occasionally, until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add tomatoes, Old Bay, and mustard and use a spatula to break up/crush the tomatoes to small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, for at least 60 seconds.
Add all remaining ingredients EXCEPT crab meat and stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add crab meat and stir gently. Continue to simmer (stirring occasionally) 30 minutes longer.
Serve warm, topped with crackers if desired.

Notes

You may substitute J.O. seasoning. MD Crab soup is, by design, a bit spicy and a bit salty (because of the old bay). If you want less spice, you can decrease the Old Bay (start with adding just a Tablespoon and then adjust) but you may also need to add some salt.

If you can't find this ingredient in your local grocery store, you can buy Old Bay on Amazon.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This soup also freezes well and may be kept frozen for several months.
