CHICKEN SOUP WITH LIME AND AVOCADO



Chicken Soup With Lime and Avocado image

When I lived in France, in the '80s and early '90s, I hardly ever ate avocados. Those sold in the markets were smooth, thin-skinned varieties grown mostly in Israel. They were watery, not as creamy or nutty-tasting as Haas avocados, the dark, pebbly-skinned variety that we get in California. "Poor man's butter," they used to call avocados when my father was a child. (Now they would more aptly be described as "rich man's butter.") Simple Mexican soups like this one often include avocado, which is diced or sliced and added to the soup when it's ladled into bowls.
