Crab & Corn Soup

Put the chicken stock, butter, onion, corn, garlic, salt, cayenne pepper and crabmeat in a 4 quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or for 8 hours on low. If you want a thicker soup, pulse a handheld blender a few times or scoop out a cup and blend in a blender or food processor (be careful – it’s hot!) and add back in. Stir in the half-and-half or cream before serving and garnish with avocado.
