Cream of Mirliton & Crawfish Soup image

Mirliton is also known as Chayote squash, allegator pear, or vegetable pear. I got this recipe from my daughter-in-law's, Aunt Jill. She had fixed it as her contribution to Thanksgiving dinner. Being a novice when it comes to cooking...I just knew I'd mess up this awesome dish. BUT...it's so simple that even I couldn't mess...

This soup was a waste of time. It was a lot of work to make and it didn't taste good.
