This is a recipe I've modified, originally from . I usually make it on the mild side for the kids, then DH and I spice it up. Don't skimp on the garnishes! 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 |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, sautee onion and garlic in oil until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
2. 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.
3. (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.).
4. 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!
