CHICKEN SOUP WITH LIME AND AVOCADO
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.

Steps:
- Coarsely chop onion and garlic. Wearing rubber gloves, finely chop jalapeño. Chop cilantro. Remove and discard skin from chicken.
- In a 3-quart saucepan cook chicken with onion, garlic, jalapeño, 1 tablespoon cilantro, broth, and water at a bare simmer until just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board with tongs and, when cool enough to handle, shred meat, discarding bones. Pour broth mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and return to cleaned pan.
- Halve tortillas and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-wide strips. In an 8-inch skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, working in 3 batches, fry tortilla strips, stirring gently, until golden. With tongs transfer strips as fried to paper towels to drain.

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP WITH AVOCADO
Chicken tortilla soup with avocado is a dish from the Southwest that, typical to Southwestern cuisine, uses Mexican ingredients. Avocado is not always added, but it adds a fresh, creamy element to complement the soup's usually spicy broth and crisp tortilla strips. This dish can also be stewed for a few hours on low in a Crock-Pot to help develop the flavors. It's a hearty soup that can serve as a full meal instead of just a starter.

Steps:
- Saute the chicken breasts on both sides in a skillet until cooked. Let the chicken cool and then shred it.
- Pour the olive oil into a large soup pot and saute the onion for a few minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, chicken, corn, green chilies, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes.
- Stir in the broth, tomatoes, bay leaf and lime juice. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
- Prepare tortilla strips while the soup is cooking. Older tortillas will dry out more quickly and remain crisper in the soup. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray or brush both sides of the tortillas with vegetable oil. Slice them into thin strips. Spread the strips across a cookie sheet, and bake them for about 10 minutes until they're all crispy, stirring halfway through cooking time.
- Serve the soup in bowls, discarding the bay leaf. Peel, pit and chop the avocado, and sprinkle it into the soup along with the tortilla strips and cheese. Alternatively, place the tortilla strips in the bowl first and serve the soup over them.
- TIPS & WARNINGS: If you have only fresh tortillas, you may need to bake them in the oven longer. Alternatively, you can deep fry both older tortilla strips and fresh tortillas strips that have been dried out in the oven. Drain the fried strips on paper towels before adding to the soup.

MEXICAN CHICKEN SOUP WITH CHICK PEAS, AVOCADO AND CHIPOTLES
This is inspired by a traditional Mexican soup called sopa tlalpeño. The chipotles, added shortly before serving, infuse the soup with a smoky, picante flavor. Cook the chicken breasts a day ahead, and use the broth for the soup. Once the chicken is cooked, the soup is quickly thrown together.

A very dear friend sent me a wonderful cookbook for the Holidays apply named, "Farmer's Market Cookbook" .This book has wonderful recipes within it's covers and since it is seasonal cookbook; it brings all the farm fresh vegetables to good use. I have poured myself into this book and want to share this adaption of one of the many recipes I have had the pleasure to prepare. This recipe bodes Springtime, as it brings this easy delicious version of this soup right to the table and quickly too. Could be a quick lunchtime respite or on a cool weekend evening when you are to tired to put another pot on the stove. All ingredients are probably right in your cupboard, except; you probably wouldn't have an avocado sitting in your cupboard or cabinet even. But maybe sitting over there on your window sill there is one waiting to be used. Relax! Take a break, take a breather, let life pass you by and enjoy the moment. Easy as peazy and easily halved.
