Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepot. Stir in onions, jalapeño, bell pepper, garlic and tomato. Sauté until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add corn, water, green chiles, chili powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, and salt. Simmer 20 to 25 minutes, until onions are translucent.
- While soup in simmering, rinse Alaska Snow Crab clusters under cold running water to remove any ice glaze. Crack legs and claws, remove crabmeat from shells; reserve crab.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Place tortilla strips on a small baking sheet. Lightly spray strips with cooking spray; sprinkle on remaining oregano. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp.
- Stir fresh lime juice and crabmeat into soup; simmer an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until crabmeat is heated through. Divide soup among 4 large bowls. Garnish each bowl with avocado and tortilla strips.
