Try avocados in a new way by making this Avocado Soup with Crab! Avocados are well known for being extremely versatile.
I’ve made all sorts of things that you would NEVER think you could add avocados into. Like Chocolate Avocado Muffins, Avocado Chocolate Truffles, even Avocado Popsicles! I’ve tricked my boys many times into eating healthier by substituting avocado for butter or oil in recipes. 😉
But when I was asked by California Avocados to make a soup using avocados, I was like wait. That’s a thing?! Yep, it sure is! And it is INCREDIBLE.
We all know how creamy avocados are, so just imagine blending up a couple of California Avocados with broth and seasonings. It makes the most creamy, light, but filling avocado soup! I could not stop dipping my spoon in.
The Avocado Soup alone is dairy free and vegetarian. Obviously the crab topping isn’t vegetarian but you can always leave the crab out and just use the tomato, cucumber and seasonings.
I love topping this Avocado Soup with Crab Topping. You get protein from the crab, coolness from the tomato, and crunch from the cucumber. It balances out the creamy soup perfectly! Grab a spoon and dig in!
