Chicken Avocado Lime Soup

Chicken Avocado Lime Soup_Slider2
(Recipe can be found on the site Cooking Classy here.)
Step by Step Instructions:


Chicken Avocado Lime Soup will be on your table, making your family happy in no time! Here’s what you’ll need: Chicken Breasts (fresh or frozen work, and you’ll need about 1 1/2 pounds), Olive Oil, 58 ounces of Chicken Broth (reduced sodium), Salt & Pepper, 2 Roma Tomatoes, 1 cup of Green Onions, 1/3 cup of fresh Cilantro, 2 Jalapeños finely diced, 2 Garlic Cloves, 3 Avocados, and 3 Tablespoons of Lime Juice.


Start by prepping all of your veggies. All I had left was to mince the garlic cloves …


… and remove the seeds from the tomatoes and dice them.


In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.


And add the green onions and jalapeños to the hot oil and sauté for 2 minutes or until tender. (you can chop up the whites of the green onions more, but they were great sliced like this too.


Add the minced garlic with about 30 seconds left to go on sautéing the veggies. Let the garlic cook along with the veggies until fragrant.


Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, and salt and pepper to taste to the pot and turn up the heat to medium-high.


Bring the soup to a boil.


Place the lid on the pot, and reduce the heat to medium and cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes.


Once the chicken was up to 165 degrees fahrenheit, transfer it to cutting board and let the oh-so-appetizing-looking chicken sit for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat on the soup to low to keep it warm.


After 5 minutes, shred the chicken.


Add the shredded chicken back to the pot along with the cilantro and lime juice.


Give the soup a stir and then you’re ready to serve it up. I added the avocado at the time of serving by cutting up half an avocado for each soup bowl. Top with Monterrey Jack (or Mexican blend) shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or tortilla chips. I opted for a bit of cheese and some chips for dipping in the soup for a bit of crunch. So good!! Happy souping!

Author: Kelli
Recipe type: Soup
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 Servings
Ingredients
  • 1½ lbs boneless skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup chopped Green Onions (including whites)
  • 2 Jalapeños, seeded and minced (leave seeds if you want soup spicy, omit if you don't like heat)
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 (14.5 oz) cans low-sodium Chicken Broth
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • ½ tsp Ground Cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup chopped Cilantro
  • 3 Tbsp fresh Lime Juice
  • 3 medium Avocados, peeled, cored and diced
  • Tortilla chips, Monterrey Jack Cheese, Sour Cream for serving (optional)
Preparation Instructions
  1. Begin by prepping all of your veggies.
  2. Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil to the pan. Once the oil is hot, sauté the green onions and jalapeños for about 2 minutes or until they're tender. Add the minced garlic to the pot with about 30 seconds left for cooking the onions and peppers.
  3. Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, cumin, tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste to the pan. Bring the soup to a boil (over medium-high to high heat). Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and is at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and let it sit on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. Lower the heat on the soup to low. Then shred the chicken.
  5. Add the chicken back to the pot along with the cilantro and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  6. Add the diced avocados to the soup when you're ready to serve. If you think you'll have leftovers, then just add half an avocado to each bowl of soup as you take it up. You can also serve with tortilla chips, Monterrey Jack cheese, and/or sour cream if you desire. And enjoy!!

  • Happy Valentine's Day, my friends! Today is a day to celebrate all of the beautiful relationships in your life. I'll admit I do think this day is a bit of a commercial one, because we ought to show our love for each other every day. But I'll happily do it today too!
♥️
I'm so grateful for each of you in my life even if it's just through our phones most days. ♥️
I'm also supremely blessed for my amazing friends and family each day. To say they make my life better every day is an understatement. ♥️
Thanks to those of you who I can confide in at a moments notice. I'm honestly am a better person having you in my life. ♥️
And to my newest valentine, my puppy, I'm excited to see where this little adventure of ours is going. ♥️
Now I'm off to enjoy a night in with my guy cooking, laughing and relaxing on this chilly evening.
♥️
What are your big plans tonight? Netflix and chill, going somewhere fancy or hanging with your friends and family?
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  • Here's a recent purchase of mine...a little humidifier for my apartment. My hands are crazy dry, my nostrils and lips are dry. I'm so over winter already so I've kept this going nonstop. So far I think it's helped me and my puppy a bit. What are your winter must haves? And also if you have any really great lotion recommendations for majorly dry skin that doesn't leave your hands super oily, comment with that too! So far Aquaphor is my go to but my hands feel so greasy. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

  • Don't let that smile fool you...I'm tired as can be as I'm working through my first week of puppy mommyhood as my friend Lea calls it. My productivity for anything outside of little Brinkley and work has been nonexistent. There have been a lot of ups and downs this week so I'm sharing that journey...
🐾
First off I have a horrible gag reflex so I'm grateful my boyfriend doesn't. But I've actually done quite well with the cleanup. Yay!
🐾
Maybe I should have checked the weather before adopting cuz it's been in the negative degrees. Brrrrr
🐾
The crate and treats have been amazing for my sanity and training the little guy. 🐾
I've already called the vet with a health issue. I'm working on getting good at getting him to take pills. No fun. 🐾
A puppy makes for a great foot warmer which I'm always on need of!
🐾
My patience is being tested but it's definitely a learning process. I'm getting better every day!
🐾
He actually is a fab napper and evenings are my favorite after he gets his crazy playing out of his system. We recoop from the day together with our laziness. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
  • I'd like to introduce this little guy to you. We adopted him yesterday and he's the sweetest puppy and quite the charmer! Right now I'm thinking Brinkley will be his name. Any You've Got Mail fans out there??
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  • Every time I fly I feel like I have a few moments of major depth. Where I see the world and myself from a different angle (literally). And I think it's normal for a lot of us to question who we are, our purpose, why we're here, our level of happiness, and so on. Well today's analysis revealed that I think we're here to grow, serve others, and spread love. It looks different for each of us, because we're all unique little weirdos in our own ways. Our contributions will all be slightly different. To be honest, I could be better. Better in all of these areas. But is the fact that I'm recognizing this proof I'm growing? I'd like to think so. What about you? What do you think about when you fly? Maybe you get a little deep on a flight or just admire the view. Tell me below! I'd ♥️to know!
