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!!
