Chilled Avocado Soup with Crab and Mango Garnish

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!
