Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup crab meat
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the vegetable broth, lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the blender with the avocado. This will create a creamy base for your soup.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more vegetable broth to achieve your desired consistency.
- Once blended, taste the soup and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Blend again briefly to mix in the seasoning.
- Transfer the avocado soup to serving bowls. It can be served chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference.
- In a separate bowl, gently mix the crab meat with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will enhance the flavor of the crab.
- Top each bowl of avocado soup with a generous amount of the seasoned crab meat. You can also garnish with additional chopped cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Avocado Soup with Crab Topping!
Tips
- • Choose perfectly ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest soup texture • Use fresh, high-quality crab meat for the best flavor – lump or jumbo lump crab works wonderfully • For a smoother soup, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve • Chill the soup beforehand for an extra refreshing experience • If you prefer a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or some finely chopped jalapeños • For a dairy-free version, ensure your vegetable broth is dairy-free and skip any additional cream • Garnish with extra cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or even some toasted pumpkin seeds for added crunch • This soup can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving
