Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium (or homemade))
- 1 medium onion (quartered)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 3 large carrots (peeled and quartered)
Garnishes
- lime juice
- cilantro (minced)
- avocado (cubed)
- onion (minced)
- Jalapeño (thinly sliced or minced)
Instructions
- Bring chicken broth, quartered onion, salt and pepper to a boil in a large soup pot. Add chicken breasts then bring back to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken breasts are cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pot and place on a cutting boar. Cut into large chunks then return to the broth. Add quartered carrots and cook until fork-tender, about 6-7 minutes.
- Divide soup between four bowls then garnish with lime juice, cilantro, avocado, minced onion and jalapeño. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- While these garnishes are optional, they are the star of the dish so I highly recommend them.
