Victor’s She Crab Soup

I went to Victor’s Friday night and had a great time. They are revamping their menu. I am always nervous when a favorite restaurant does this as I tend to have several “go-to” menu items and I don’t want them to disappear. I need not wory about Victor’s though, so far all of the changes are positive. My favorite new item has to be the She Crab soup. Until now I don’t think you could find she crab soup in Florence. (Please correct me if I am wrong!) According to What’s Cooking America, “Charleston, South Carolina is known for their elegant she Crab Soup. A cross between a bisque and a chowder, made with their famous blue crab meat. This soup/bisque/chowder is considered the city’s signature dish. Local restaurants offer their own version, and in many Charleston restaurants, the soup du jour is often She Crab Soup.”

Victor’s version was light but filling. There was plenty of crab, not like those cheap, touristy versions where you have to hunt for your one bite of crab. Every bite provided ample tastes of delicious crab meat. The soup itself was warm, perfect for a cold, winter night.

I had this with a salad and it was a perfect meal. If you are really hungry, I would get an entree or another tapas item to follow, but for a light dinner it is perfect with just a salad.
