Tips:
- To intensify the flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in lime juice, salt, and black pepper for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Roast the garlic cloves and jalapeno pepper before adding them to the soup to bring out deeper flavors.
- For an extra creamy texture, blend part of the soup before adding the avocado.
