ingredients

3 large avocados, diced
3 cups chicken broth (or as needed)
1 - 1 ¹⁄₂ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt and pepper

directions

Working in 2 or 3 batches, combine the avocados, broth, and cream in a blender. Puree until smooth. Adjust the amount of cream used, as needed, for a good soup consistency. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cold but not overly chilled, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make the tomato salsa. In a bowl, combine the tomato, onion, chilies, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir well, taste, and adjust the seasonings.
To serve, remove the soup from the refrigerator, taste, and adjust the seasonings. Ladle the soup into chilled individual bowls. Top each serving with some of the diced shrimp or crabmeat and a generous dollop of the salsa.
