Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Lime Avocado Chicken Soup.
Step 1
Start by bringing a small pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Gently add the chicken breasts and let them cook until they’re fully done, which should take about seven minutes.
Step 3
You’ll know they’re ready when the internal temperature hits at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 4
Once cooked, drain the chicken and run cool water over it to help it cool down quickly.
Step 5
When it’s cool enough to handle, shred or slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Next, grab a large pot and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 7
Toss in half of the chopped onion, along with half a cup of fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, a splash of lime juice, and minced garlic.
Step 8
Sauté this delightful mix for about five minutes, or until the onion turns a lovely translucent shade.
Step 9
In a separate bowl, combine four cups of water with chicken bouillon powder, stirring until it’s well mixed.
Step 10
Pour this flavorful broth into the pot with your sautéed ingredients and heat it gently until it’s warmed through, which should take another five minutes.
Step 11
Now, stir in the shredded chicken, allowing all those wonderful flavors to meld together.
Step 12
When you’re ready to serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top each one with chunks of creamy avocado, the remaining chopped onion, a sprinkle of cilantro, and crumbled queso fresco.
Step 13
This soup is not just a meal; it’s a warm hug in a bowl, perfect for sharing with family or enjoying on a cozy night in.
Step 14
Enjoy every spoonful!.
