Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Stir in the finely chopped jalapeno peppers and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the pot.
- Stir in the ground cumin, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the broth is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pot.
- Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
- Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot and place them on a cutting board.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and 3 tbsp of lime juice.
- Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Just before serving, add the diced avocados to the soup and gently stir to combine.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
- Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro, a lime wedge, or a few slices of fresh jalapeno for extra heat.
Tips:
- Ensure that the avocados are ripe but firm to add a creamy texture without becoming mushy in the soup.
- Roast or grill the chicken breasts beforehand for an extra layer of flavor.
- Add the lime juice at the very end of the cooking process to preserve its fresh, tangy flavor.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a lime wedge for an extra touch of freshness.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, consider adding additional diced jalapenos or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
