Ingredients for Avocado Crab Soup

  • Chicken Broth
  • Green Onion
  • Garlic Clove
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 ripe avocados (about 1 cup, pitted and peeled)

How to Make Avocado Crab Soup

  1. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to a gentle boil.
  2. Carefully pour the hot broth mixture into a blender. (Caution: vent the lid to avoid pressure buildup).
  3. Add 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and 2 ripe avocados (about 1 cup, pitted and peeled), cover, and blend until completely smooth (approximately 30 seconds).
  4. Pour the blended soup back into the saucepan.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat.
  6. Heat the soup gently, stirring constantly, until it is heated through but not boiling. Avoid overcooking the crab meat.
  7. Ladle the soup into 4 bowls and garnish with lemon twists and a sprinkle of fresh chives (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
