agree  Berit Kostka, PhD: yes, if you put croutons or other crispy things like lettuce in it (as I have seen in recipes), or bake it to give it a crispy crust?

neutral  Lonnie Legg: Need more info: If crunchy ingredients (lettuce, cucumber) blended in, I'd say "crunchy"--if it has a baked crust, I'd prefer "crispy".

on a coarsely pureed base


Explanation:
a crisp puree is, of course, a contradiction in terms. "Coarse puree" sounds somewhat, well, "coarse"; so, the addition of "base" makes it a bit more "palatable". Needless to say, just a shot in the dark on my part.

puree with crunch


Explanation:
This makes more sense to me because I imagine the puree not to be completely crunchy. "Puree with crunch" describes the texture of a puree but adds the special crunch.
