Chicken Avocado Lime Soup



This soup is nothing short of amazing!  I've shared it with so many people now and everybody loves it!!  It combines some fairly basic ingredients to create a ligh, simple but bursting with flavor, kind of soup.  I usually reserve soup for the coller months, but this is one that I love to eat year round!

Ingredients
2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped green onions
2 cloves minced garlic
7 cups organic chicken broth
2-3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
3 medium avocados, peeled, cored and diced
Optional toppings - tortilla chips (I like to toast corn tortillas and cut into wedges), shredded cheese and plain Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)

Directions
In a large pot heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add green onions and garlic and saute for a couple of minutes.  Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, salt, pepper and shredded chicken.  Stir well and simmer for about 10 minutes.  Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Add avocados to soup just before serving (if you don't plan on serving the soup right away, I would recommend adding the avocados to each bowl individually, about 1/2 an avocado per serving). Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and Greek yogurt, if desired.
