Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup green onion, chopped (including whites, mince the whites)
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (leave seeds if you want soup spicy, omit if you don't like heat)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
2 roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 medium avocados, peeled, cored and diced
tortilla chips, for serving
monterey jack cheese, for serving
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add green onions and jalapenos and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sautéing.
  • Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, season with salt and pepper to taste and add chicken breasts. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes (cook time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts).
  • Reduce burner to warm heat, remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then shred chicken and return to soup.
  • Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
  • Add avocados to soup just before serving (if you don't plan on serving the soup right away, I would recommend adding the avocados to each bowl individually, about 1/2 an avocado per serving).
  • Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream if desired.
