Spicy Lime Avocado Soup




Spicy Lime Avocado Soup

Recipe by: SerenaBloom

"My husband tried to tell me not to submit this recipe... he doesn't want the whole world to know about it, but I say share what you have! Serve with warm tortilla chips and a nice large mojito. Top with sour cream or creme fraiche if desired."

Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large white onion, chopped, divided
3 limes, juiced
1 cup chopped cilantro, divided
2 jalapeno peppers, halved and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups water
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken bouillon powder
3 large firm-ripe avocados, cut into chunks
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco, or to taste

Directions

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add chicken; boil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 minutes. Drain.

Run cool water over chicken to speed cooling process. Shred or finely slice chicken.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion, lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, jalapeno peppers, and garlic until onion is slightly greenish in color, about 5 minutes.

Combine 4 cups water and bouillon powder in a small bowl. Pour into the pot. Let cook until just heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken into the pot.

Ladle soup into 4 bowls. Top with remaining 1/2 onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco.

Cook's Note:

Substitute Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese for the queso fresco if preferred.
