Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe avocados
• 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole garlic clove, minced
• 0.5 whole jalapeño, deseeded and chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 8 ounces lump crab meat
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup microgreens (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh using a spoon and add it to a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 3

Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth, a few tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 4

Transfer the soup to a bowl or container, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill thoroughly.

Step 5

While the soup is chilling, gently toss the lump crab meat with olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Step 6

Once the soup is fully chilled, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 7

Ladle the cold soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous portion of crab meat.

Step 8

Garnish with microgreens, if using, and serve immediately.
