Most people would just shake a little salt on it and it is done. They think that this action is good enough to make the soup taste better.
But a chef can make the soup more tasty through preferable methods without adding too much salt.
First and foremost, reflect on the ingredients of the soup. Most of the time, veggies, herbs and bones are starting base for a good carab or home-made fish soup.
If you want to reduce or increase the flavor of the soup - especially soup with crabs, you have to taste it between stirring.

Its up to you really.
Cut the soup in half if it seems too strong, however be prepared to kick up the taste if it becomes too boring.
If you’re done cooking the soup but it tastes like it still needs something, reach for wine, lime juice or lemon.
You can also spike it with vinegar. If you want more flavor to the meat, make sure that you sauté it in the pot.
Optionally you may add additional butter or oil to the pot or try tossing in some chopped garlic or onion.

Utilize some time to saut all the ingredients and let the flavors mix into each other.
If you are cooking stew and it tastes slightly burnt, you can remedy it by pouring a bit of milk to balance the taste out.
Ice cubes can also eliminate the fat portion from the soup as well as the stew. All you need are just a few into the pot and continue stirring.
Lest you want to serve a high cholesterol iced tea, throw the ice cubes away. Remaining fat will attach to the cold cubes.
Be ready to skim a paper towel across the top.

Eventually, when you have to warm the soup up again, you should do it in a double boiler.
To ensure that the soup is rich in flavor, its ingredients are best retained with hot water.
A nice idea is to server some scallops with the soup.
There was this story about a traveler who asked a man and wife if he could stay in their house for the night.
He said he could make the best stew they ever tasted with only a rock. Now it was a normal rock.
The stew he ended up cooking for the man and the wife ended up to be tasty because the homeowners provided him with the ingredients he needed to come up with the stew.
