CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP TOPPED WITH CRAB
Avocados are ripening more quickly than we can think up recipes for them!Found this in F&W Magazine, June 2008 edition - it is a combination of two recipes and it was awesome!!! It is fast and healthy - the guacamole is made first & then the soup takes no time at all.These are Grace Parisi recipes - from: Guacamole, The Remix. Didn't allow for cooling time. UPDATE: 07/14/2010 - We made this soup again and added 1/2 cup fresh tomatillos, 1 serrano pepper, & 2 T minced red bell pepper, It gave the soup a great flavor and added a little something else. We also added 1/2 tsp grated orange rind which infused crabmeat which floated atop the rich & creamy soup. Yum :)
