Clean the field crabs, remove the shell and apron, set aside, remove the apron, wash, drain, put in a mortar, pound with a few grains of salt. Use a spoon to scoop out the crab fat, put in a bowl with 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning powder. Rinse with water to remove the bad smell. Put the crushed crab in a bowl, mix with 1 liter of water, squeeze gently to dissolve the crab meat evenly. Filter the crab through a small mesh sieve with 600ml of water, then filter again to remove all the residue and crab carcasses.

When the pot of water starts to boil, add the crab paste and cook together, turn down the heat, the crab will form into clumps. If we keep the heat high while the water boils, the crab will crumble and look unappetizing, not to mention it can easily cause the soup to overflow. Pick out the worms from the morning glory flowers, crush them, wash them with salt water, and drain. After the crab meat has formed clumps, add the morning glory flowers, turn up the heat a little. Add seasoning to taste.

For sour soup, we should steam the crab fat with cooking oil or fat before pouring it into the pot to create a rich color for the soup. But for crab soup with vegetables, the water needs to be sweet and clear. Therefore, we should not steam the fat but only pour the crab fat in when the water is boiling, at this time the crab fat will melt and stick to the vegetables.

Adding raw bricks also helps the soup to be clear, without grease, very attractive and suitable to eat in hot summer weather.
