Corn and Crab Soup

We usually don't eat soups in spring and summer just because of all the fresh vegetables from the garden. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love Soups! This Corn and Crab Soup is so good and it's a great time to use fresh corn. We made this with frozen corn since we don't have fresh corn yet. The crab perfectly compliments the sweet corn flavor and really makes me happy knowing spring and summer is coming. Soon we'll have all those fresh veggies! Can't WAIT!!!!!! 😃

Tips for making Corn and Crab Soup:

1. Sauté the corn with spices. This brings out the flavor of the corn.
2. If corn on the cob is available- Grill the corn first to get a char and bring out the sweetness even more in the soup.
3. Measure everything! No need to add extra calories

We also have a spicy version of Corn Soup. Check it out here!

Corn Broth

Corn broth is actually really easy to make. If you have the freezer space, you can store all of the corn cobs from that delicious summer staple in a freezer bag. Then, when you're ready for some corn and crab soup, pull them out, cover them in water, and boil them. Bring to a simmer for a few hours and before you know it.....Homemade corn broth for all of your soup adventures! 😃
