Chilpachole de jaiba is a traditional dish originating from Veracruz. This spicy soup is usually made with a combination of crab meat, potatoes, carrots, hot peppers (ancho, chipotle, and guajillo are the most common), tomatoes, onions, garlic, epazote, olive oil, salt, and pepper. The tomatoes, soaked chili peppers, onions, garlic, salt, and pepper are processed until smooth, and then mixed with the rest of the ingredients in a pot. The soup is simmered until the crab is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. If the soup is too thin, it's recommended to thicken it with masa dough. Chilpachole de jaiba is served hot with tortillas on the side.
