CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP TOPPED WITH CRAB
Avocados are ripening more quickly than we can think up recipes for them!Found this in F&W Magazine, June 2008 edition - it is a combination of two recipes and it was awesome!!! It is fast and healthy - the guacamole is made first & then the soup takes no time at all.These are Grace Parisi recipes - from: Guacamole, The Remix. Didn't allow for cooling time. UPDATE: 07/14/2010 - We made this soup again and added 1/2 cup fresh tomatillos, 1 serrano pepper, & 2 T minced red bell pepper, It gave the soup a great flavor and added a little something else. We also added 1/2 tsp grated orange rind which infused crabmeat which floated atop the rich & creamy soup. Yum :)

Steps:
- Make soup:
- Roast corn on rack of gas burner over high heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until kernels are charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. (Alternatively, heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and roast corn over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes.) Transfer corn to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cob with a sharp knife, then cut cob into thirds.
- Bring kernels, cob pieces, 4 cups water, garlic, salt, and 1/2 cup onion to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan and boil until liquid is reduced to about 3 cups, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, uncovered. Discard cob pieces.
- Purée corn mixture along with chile and remaining 3/4 cup onion in a blender, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids. Return broth to cleaned blender.
- Quarter, pit, and peel 1 avocado, then add to blender with 2 tablespoons lime juice and purée until smooth. Transfer soup to a bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill soup at least 1 hour.
- Prepare cilantro oil while soup chills:
- Purée cilantro, oil, and salt in cleaned blender, scraping down sides of blender several times. Pour oil into cleaned fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and let drain 15 minutes (do not press on solids). Discard solids.
- Assemble soup:
- Halve and pit remaining avocado and scoop small balls from flesh with melon-ball cutter, then toss gently with remaining tablespoon lime juice in a bowl.

Tips:
- Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it before using.
- Don't overcook the corn. It should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. The broth will be the base of the soup, so it's important to use a broth that has a lot of flavor.
- Add the cream and milk at the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the soup from curdling.
- Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Serve the soup chilled, garnished with crab avocado salad and chopped chives.
Conclusion:
This chilled sweet corn soup with crab avocado salad is a delicious and refreshing summer soup. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The soup is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your family.
