Avocado Chicken Soup

I am not a soup person at all, but this soup was AMAZING! I even went back for seconds. And to add another layer of amazingness, it is a low fat recipe. 5 stars!

I did modify the recipe slightly. First, I used a small white onion instead of scallions. Also, after I shredded the chicken, I added it to the broth and let it simmer for an extra 10 minutes or so.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 5 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded chicken breast
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-1/2 cups scallions, chopped fine
• 2 ripe hass avocados
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped fine
• 4 lime wedges
• 2 tsp olive oil
• salt + pepper to taste
• pinch cumin
• pinch chile powder

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup scallions and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes and then add tomatoes and saute another minute, until soft. Add chicken stock, cumin, and chile powder and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered on low for 15-20 minutes.

In four bowls , fill each with 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 avocado, remainder of scallions, and cilantro. Ladle 1 cup chicken broth over the chicken and serve with a lime wedge.
