Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 2 jalapeños seeded and minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 14.5 ounce cans chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 roma tomatoes diced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- salt & pepper to taste
- 4 radishes sliced into thin disks
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 Tablespoons lime juice
- 3 medium avocados peeled and diced
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the green onions and jalapeno and saute for 2 minutes, just until tender. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds more.
- Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the chicken breasts, tomatoes, cumin, oregano, and coriander, and salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Allow the soup to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are cooked through.
- Remove the chicken and turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the radishes.
- When the chicken is cool enough to handle (about 5 minutes) shred with two forks or put it in the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer and use the beater to shred it quickly (such a great kitchen trick that I use whenever I need to shred meat!). Add the shredded chicken back into the soup, along with the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
- Add the avocados just before serving the soup, or put about 1/2 cup of chopped avocado into each serving bowl before ladling soup over the top. You can also add crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, or shredded cheese, if you desire.
