So today is Sunday and I KNOW I have to do some meal prep for the week. On my way home from church, I wanted to go to the grocery store, but there was a lot of traffic out....thus I came home and opened the fridge, freezer and cabinets to see what I could put together.
Last night, I went out and had crabs and brought a few home; since I had some diced tomatoes in the cabinet I decided to make crab soup! Difficult you think? Not at all! Here's how I did it!
Crabs - washed 75% of the seasoning off (crabs are good, but the seasoning is very high in sodium) and broke off claws and legs then cleaned the body and picked the meat out.
Ingredients - Frozen mixed veggies, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and black beans. For my base, I did not have any beef bouillon cubs so I simmered some meatballs, onions and garlic together and it worked just fine. Yes I used meatballs! I'm a country girl and we know how to use what we got to get what we want! To season, I used rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and nature's seasoning.
After simmering the meatballs, onions and garlic (in 1/3 pot of water), I added the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, black beans and mixed veggies. Bring this to a boil for 5 minutes and then simmer for 10 minutes. Next I added the crab to the pot and let simmer for 20 minutes to let all of the flavors infuse. Done!!!
I'm not a chef, I just have a passion for cooking and eating well!! :-) enjoy!!
