Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1.5 cup scallions chopped fine
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium tomato diced
  • 5 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cup shredded chicken breast about 12 oz
  • 2 small ripe hass avocados diced
  • 0.333 cup cilantro chopped
  • 4 lime wedges
  • 0.125 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.125 teaspoon chipotle chile powder optional

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the olive oil, 1 cup of scallions, and garlic. Sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes until soft, then add the tomatoes and sauté for another minute until soft.
  3. Add the chicken broth, cumin, and chipotle chile powder and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered on low for about 15 minutes.
  4. In four bowls, divide the shredded chicken and diced avocado. Top with the remaining scallions and cilantro. Ladle about 1 cup of the hot chicken broth over the chicken and avocado. Serve with a lime wedge for squeezing.

Notes

Season with kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste. This soup is best enjoyed immediately, as the avocado can brown if left to sit for too long.
