Mexican Chicken and Avocado Soup
Mexican Chicken & Rice Soup
Ahhhh-mazing for so many reasons:
1. It makes you feel good like Chicken & Noodles
2. It is fast & easy (like 30 mins, full of great short cuts!)
3. It’s good for you!
4. TASTE DELISH
Ok so here is where the fun begins….
Chop an onion, toss is a heavy bottom pot (my Dutch oven is my fav!) with a glug of olive oil (about a tablespoon)
Then get a cup of rice (brown, white, basmati, whatever you have)
Next open a container of Pico de Gallo (from the produce section in the grocery store) toss that in with a couple of cloves of garlic
Add 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt & chili powder
Let that cook for about 5-7 mins
Add 32 oz chicken broth
While that is cooking shred some chicken (leftover works great or from the deli section of the grocery you’ll need about 1 cup, more if you like lots of meat!
Toss that in the soup along with the cooked rice
Cook for about 10-15 mins to let all the flavors meld together
Dip out soup, top with avacado slices and a wedge of fresh lime
Enjoy
