Chicken Avocado Soup

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates.

So, I LOVE me some avocado, almost as much as cotton candy…well almost ;) And you love avocados too – I know you do!! You can eat them, spread them on your face, or throw them in this soup for starters! Gotta love a veggie that has dual properties friends!! I’ve also seen where you can swap out butter for avocado in most baked goods too. I haven’t tried it myself – but sounds yummy – kinda – in a weird way ;)

This chicken avocado soup recipe is so very yummy. It’s also light, low in calories, and the huge chunks of avocado just melt in your mouth as you eat it – oh Y.U.M. Love love love – it’s one of our favorites to make & eat!

serving size: 4 bowls

The shredded chicken perfectly compliments the smoothness of the avocado in this wonderfully filling soup.

Instructions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Add chicken to the heated skillet and lower temperature to medium, cover pan and grill chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. Shred chicken and cover with foil to keep warm, then set aside.
In a dutch oven or equivalent, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat until hot.

Stir well and bring to a boil.
Cover pot and simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes.
Layering in separate bowls; Fill each bowl with shredded chicken, diced avocado, chopped green onions (from the remaining 1/2 cup), and cilantro. Next, ladle the chicken broth onto the layered chicken in each bowl. Serve each bowl with a lime wedge.
