2-3 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped

2-3T Worcestershire sauce
1 can petite tomatoes, with juice

Seasonings: Old Bay, JO, celery salt, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes to taste

(Cook’s note: This is an award winning recipe my mother and I found in a magazine 40+ years ago! I have adjusted to recipe throughout the years to perfect it to our traditional crab soup that we would cook all day! I will match this quick version to any traditional Maryland crab soup! When someone wants the recipe (and they will!) I just tell them it’s an old family recipe! Shhhhh....I won’t tell if you won’t!’
P.S. I just made this for Dale. He absolutely loved it and asked why I never made it for him in the past 20 years. Even Mollie said I haven’t made it since she was little! Damn...time flies!!!!)

1. In large pot, cook bacon for grease. Remove bacon & sauté onion & celery in bacon grease and oil until translucent.

3. Add butter and a little beef broth if liquid is needed and continue to cook so garlic doesn’t burn.
