I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

I had high hopes for this soup, but it was a bit of a disappointment. The soup was bland and the crab and avocado salad didn't add much flavor.

This soup was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made soup with a nice balance of flavors.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I also added some chopped red bell pepper and zucchini to the soup for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of corn soup, but this recipe changed my mind! The sweetness of the corn was perfectly balanced by the creamy broth and the crab and avocado salad added a nice touch of flavor.

This soup was delicious and so easy to make! I used frozen corn and it still turned out great. The crab and avocado salad was a nice addition, but I think it would be just as good without it.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit! My friends and family love the combination of sweet corn and crab, and the avocado salad adds a refreshing touch.
