Ingredients:
- 1 whole large ripe avacoto pitted, flesh scooped from the skin and cut into 1/4 inch cubes
- 1 whole large lime cut into 6 wedges
Directions:
- Quickly toast the chile by turning it an inch or two above an open flame for a few seconds until its aroma fills the kitchen. (Lacking the open flam, toast it in a dry pan over medium heat, pressing it flat for a few seconds, then flipping it over and pressing it again.)
- Break the chile into pieces and put in a blender jar along with the tomatoes with their juice.
- Heat the oil in a medium (4 quart) saucepan over medium-high. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 7 minutes.
- Scoop up the onion and garlic with a slotted spoon, pressing them against the side of the pan to leave behind as much oil as possible, and transfer to the blender. Process until smooth.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat. When quite hot, add the puree and stir nearly constantly, until thickened to the consistency of tomato paste, about 6 minutes.
- Add the broth and epazote, if using. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Taste and season with salt, usually about a generous teaspoon (depending on the saltiness of the broth).
- Just before serving, add the chicken to the simmering broth. Divide the avocado, cheese and tortilla chips between serving bowls. When the chicken is done, usually about 5 minutes, ladle the soup into the bowls. Garnish with the crema. Pass the lime separately.
