Steps:
- Make the soup: Heat a medium pot over medium-low. Add the oil and heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook to slightly brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the vegetable broth.
- Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and cook until the onion and garlic are soft and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, then add the almond milk and turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
- To finish the soup, combine the avocados, cilantro, lime juice, broth mixture and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, adding up to ½ cup of broth or water as needed if the mixture is too thick. (You may need to do this in batches.) Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Chill if you prefer the soup cold.
- Make the chile oil: Heat a small saucepan over medium-low, then add the oil and chiles. Continuously stir the chiles in the hot oil until they become fragrant, deepen in color and stain the oil a red-orange hue, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor with a pinch of salt and pulse until the chiles are finely ground.
- Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until chilled to serve cold. Divide the soup among bowls and garnish with pepitas, chives, tortilla chips and chile oil.

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:
- 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.
Tips:
- Select ripe avocados for a creamier and more flavorful soup. Look for avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh lime juice for a brighter and more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can substitute bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle chile powder to your desired level of spiciness. Start with 1 teaspoon and add more to taste.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado and lime juice together with a fork or potato masher. The soup will not be as smooth, but it will still be delicious.
- Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, or crumbled queso fresco for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
Avocado lime soup with chipotle chile is a refreshing and flavorful soup that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up ripe avocados. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it spicy or mild, creamy or chunky, this soup is sure to please.
