Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

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!

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados will be dark green or black in color and will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
If you don't have any lime juice on hand, you can substitute lemon juice. However, lime juice will give the soup a more authentic flavor.
If you like your soup spicy, add a jalapeño pepper or two. Remove the seeds and ribs from the pepper before adding it to the soup, to control the heat level.
Garnish the soup with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Conclusion:

This spicy lime avocado soup is a delicious and refreshing meal that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful soup, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
