1 jalapeno, seeded and quartered lengthwise
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 hass avocadoes, halved and pitted
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro leaf
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Directions:

GUACAMOLE:.
Preheat a grill pan.

Transfer to a work surface and let cool.
Finely chop the scallions and jalapeno; transfer to medium bowl.
Peel the garlic cloves, mash them to a paste and add them to the bowl.
Scoop the avocado flesh into the bowl and coarsely mash with a fork.
Fold the cilantro and lime juice into the guacamole; season with salt & pepper (make sure you don't over-season because there is more salt & pepper in the soup!).
CHILLED AVOCADO SOUP TOPPED WITH CRAB:.
In a blender, puree the guacamole with the cold buttermilk, bottled clam juice, ice water and lime juice.
Season the soup with salt and pepper.
Pour the soup into 4 bowls and top with the jumbo lump crab meat.
