Spicy Avocado Soup With Chicken and Lime image

This is a recipe I've modified, originally from Allrecipes.com. I usually make it on the mild side for the kids, then DH and I spice it up. Don't skimp on the garnishes!

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces chicken chunks, I use canned in a pinch
1 quart chicken stock or 1 quart canned broth
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, heat level of your choosing
salt and pepper, to taste
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
sour cream
cheddar cheese
lime wedge
fresh cilantro
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sautee onion and garlic in oil until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken and brown, then add stock, lime juice, Ro-Tel (with juice), salt and pepper. Gently simmer until chicken is cooked, 3-5 minutes. Stir in avocado and cilantro and heat through, and adjust seasonings to taste.
  • (If you wish to thicken the soup a bit, use an immersion blender or mash some of the avocado by hand. You can also add potato flakes if you want a thicker broth.).
  • Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of additional cilantro, with lime wedge and tortilla chips on the side. Enjoy!
