Mauritian Crab Soup
A rich, restorative seafood broth with fresh crab, tomato, garlic, ginger and spring onion. Adapted by skimming the fat and using minimal salt so it stays light and heart-friendly while keeping the deep coastal Creole flavour. Prefer it milder? Just ask — we dial down the chilli while keeping the full aromatic flavour, so it's gentle on the palate without losing its Mauritian character.
