CREAM OF MIRLITON & CRAWFISH SOUP



Cream of Mirliton & Crawfish Soup image

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...

Tina's Cream of Mirliton and Shrimp Soup image

My sister's friend's mother lived in New Orleans. She agreed to meet us and give us a personal tour of New Orleans right after she got off the local PBS station where she was making this soup as part of a fund raiser. It is as warm and delightful as her Southern Hospitality.
