We are finally back in Charleston and are not going anywhere for a long time. It definitely has been a summer full of great travel. Trying to get back into a routine with Walker before he starts school in a couple of weeks, I asked him what he wanted for dinner. I was expecting the usual answer of pasta with pesto sauce of vodka sauce or if he was trying to be sneaky an answer of pizza. His answer, “Umm, you know I would really like some crab of some sort.” This was a little surprising. I know that Walker loves mussels and oysters and lobster, but he has never requested this for dinner unless we are at a restaurant because he knows that I am allergic to shellfish. I feel like I am depriving him of great seafood meals because mainly I don’t like seafood and a little because of my allergy. I have never been officially tested for a shellfish allergy but one time I ate some shrimp and my eyes swelled closed, and since I don’t like seafood anyway- this self diagnosed allergy seems to work out rather well for me. In realizing I am depriving Walker, I also realized that I never put any recipes with shellfish up on this blog, so while I might not eat them, there are still some fantastic dishes to be shared. And She Crab Soup is definitely one of them. I found this great recipe for it in an old copy of Southern Living. Hope it is tasty!
She Crab Soup

A trip to Charleston isn’t the same without She Crab Soup! Look divine!
