Tasty Tuesday–Lime-Chicken Soup

I tried a new soup recipe last week, but being me, I had to tinker with it the first time I made it. The end result was delicious, and it was a pretty popular dinner, so I know I’ll be making it again!

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or a combination of the two)
  • 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 4 jalapeños, chopped
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • 4 avocados, cut in cubes
  • Queso fresco, crumbled

Place chicken in stock pot and cover with water. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer, about 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Cool enough to chop.

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin and stir well, heating for about a minute. Add onion, 1 cup cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, and lime juice; sprinkle with salt. Sauté until tender, about five minutes.

Stir in chicken broth and chicken; heat through.

Serve with remaining cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco.
