This recipe was made by my girlfriend Judi when the girls were at the beach. She always treats us with devine food that she makes herself and this time was no exception. You have to try this Chilled Avocado Soup with Crab and Mango Garnish! Here is the recipe that was published at coastalliving.com.
This rich soup has no cream in it, puree in a blender to add air and creaminess. Add more broth if you want a thinner consistency. It’s great as it is, but add the mango and crab garnish and it is superb!

I made this soup exactly as written and was disappointed with the taste after a couple hours of chilling. HOWEVER, I let it sit for a couple of days, and WOW! what a difference. I think you should instruct people to at least let it chill overnight. The taste of the avocado comes through much better and the consistency is superb. I had no problem with the garnish from the start, but it overwhelmed the soup before I let it refrigerate fully.

I’m no sure what the problem is but I loved it. What do you think would have made it taste better?
