Ингредиенты

- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 3 x green onions white parts sliced, and the tops reserved
- 1 can whole peeled tomatoes - (16 ounce) minced, and juice reserved

Инструкции
- Rinse crab well under cool running water, scrubbing underside with long-handled brush (but watch out for claws). Place crab in deep pot with cool water to cover by several inches. Cover pot and bring water almost to boil over high heat. Turn off heat; let crab steep 10 min.
- Remove and rinse with cool water till cold sufficient to handle and reserve cooking liquid. Clean and crack crab and extract meat, keeping claw and leg sections as intact as possible. Save shells for broth.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add in onion tops and cook 2 min. Add in 1 qt crab cooking water, tomato juice and crab shells. Bring to boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 10 min.
- Strain broth, wipe pan dry, return pan to medium-high heat and add in 1 Tbsp. oil. Add in garlic and sliced onions and cook till fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add in broth, minced tomatoes and chiles and simmer till chile flavor permeates broth, about 2 min. Add in salt to taste, then add in crab meat to broth to reheat, about 2 min. Remove chiles before serving.
- Serve with lime wedges and oregano for seasoning each bowl to taste.
- Variation: If it's more convenient to start with a cooked crab, clean and crack crab as usual and make soup base with shells and plain water. You will lose a bit of flavor, but it will still make good soup.
- This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
- Comments: In Veracruz, the soup would be made with the local blue crab, the same species also found from Texas to New England (Callinectes sapidus). One of our local Dungeness crabs can stand in here for three or possibly four of their smaller Eastern cousins. Look for live crabs at Asian supermarkets.
