Tomato Soup with Crab Recipe

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat until hot.
2. Add the shallots, garlic, and a pinch of salt, sweating until softened, 4-5 minutes.
3. Stir in the spices and cook until fragrant, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and broth; bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
4. Once simmering, cook until the tomatoes are just soft to the tip of a knife, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes.
5. When ready, stir in about half the crabmeat, the lime juice, and some salt and pepper to taste.
6. Divide between bowls and top with the remaining crabmeat. Garnish with lime wedges and more crushed red pepper, if desired.
