About Caribbean Crab Soup
Recetario Digital presents this crab soup as a traditional dish of Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast. Its Bluefields collection combines fresh crab with coconut milk, potatoes and green plantain.
The coconut is grated and pressed with water to make the soup’s milky base. Red onion, garlic, peppers and tomato cook in oil before the coconut milk, bay leaf and cilantro join them.
The crab meat simmers with the vegetables in the coconut broth. Limón juice seasons the finished soup, with achiote and a hot chilli offered as optional additions.
