Chicken and Avocado Soup
Description
Chicken and Avocado Soup combines sautéed scallions and garlic with fresh tomatoes to start a gently spiced broth using chicken stock, cumin, and optional chipotle chili powder. Chicken breast is shredded for tender protein pieces dispersed in the savory broth. The preparation highlights fresh and mild flavors without heaviness.
Before serving, diced avocado, remaining scallions, and cilantro are added to each bowl, providing a contrast of creaminess and fresh herbal brightness. Lime wedges allow diners to add a refreshing citrus note, which brightens the soup further and balances the richness of the avocado.
This soup works well as a light meal or starter and can be prepared in advance, with some components assembled just before serving to retain freshness of the avocado and herbs.
