Lime Avocado Spicy Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large white onion, chopped, divided
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro, divided
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, halved and thinly sliced
  • 3 limes, juiced
  • 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
Instructions
1
Heat a small pot of water to its boiling point, then add the chicken. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), approximately 7 minutes. Remove from heat and drain excess water.
2
Immerse the cooked chicken in a flow of cool running water to expedite cooling. Once cooled, shred or finely chop the chicken.
3
In a large cooking vessel heated over medium heat, combine half of the onion, 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro, jalapeño peppers, lime juice, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion has begun to turn a pale greenish hue, roughly 5 minutes.
4
In a separate container, whisk together 4 cups of water and the contents of a bouillon powder packet. Pour this mixture into the cooking vessel, then continue to cook until just warmed through, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked chicken.
5
Distribute the soup evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with the remaining avocado, additional onion, more cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco.
