Directions:
Place beef in Dutch oven with enough water to cover plus an inch or so (at least 6 cups). Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer for approximately 1 hour or longer to get a richer broth. If soup bones are used cook longer.

Add raw veggies (except tomatoes), bouillon, Old Bay©, bay leaves, black pepper. Continue simmering, approximately ˝ hour or until veggies are almost tender.

If using any canned or frozen veggies add them now. Add V-8©, Tabasco © and tomatoes. Simmer another ˝ hour. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add additional pepper, Old Bay©, salt and Tabasco©, if needed.

Add the crabmeat. Do not cook for a long time after the crabmeat is added.

Personal Notes:
Uncle Tom says:
- Use any vegetables you like, but NEVER LIMA BEANS!!
- Use fresh veggies when you can.
- Go lighter on Old Bay if using hand picked crabs, as there will be some seasoning on that meat.
Aunt Bevie says:
- The amounts for the veggies are guesses. Quantities may need to be adjusted.
Aunt Ellen says:
- Great use for leftover grilled steak!
