How to Make Avocado Crab Soup
- 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.
- Carefully pour the hot broth mixture into a blender. (Caution: vent the lid to avoid pressure buildup).
- 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).
- Pour the blended soup back into the saucepan.
- Stir in 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat.
- Heat the soup gently, stirring constantly, until it is heated through but not boiling. Avoid overcooking the crab meat.

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!
