As [adj.] as [clause], [sentence]

Ex. from a random website: As amazing as it may sound many people do not realize how easy it is to LEGALLY stop paying for their groceries!

I have a hunch that it means something like 'although [sentence], [sentence].' I still need to know just in case there's any subtle difference.

I don't think it can be generalized to that paraphrase, but here the meaning is about the same. You lose the effect of the adjective though: as amazing/disappointing/appealing/stupid as it may sound..
