CREAM OF MIRLITON & CRAWFISH SOUP
Mirliton is also known as Chayote squash, allegator pear, or vegetable pear. I got this recipe from my daughter-in-law's, Aunt Jill. She had fixed it as her contribution to Thanksgiving dinner. Being a novice when it comes to cooking...I just knew I'd mess up this awesome dish. BUT...it's so simple that even I couldn't mess...
