I made this the other night for my family, ususally soup for dinner isn't well received but this was a hit and no one was whining about being hungry after dinner...
and total time from beginning to end is about 40 minutes, perfect for any busy mom!
Here's what you need:
1 tbsp of butter but you could use olive oil
4 small shallots
1 large tomato (chopped)
1 jalepeno pepper, seedd and minced
6 cups of chicken stock (look for low sodium)
1 lime, juiced
pinch of sugar
2 cups of chopped chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 ripe avocado, cubed
1 tbsp of fresh cilantro
Here's what you do:
- in a large sauce pan, melt the butter, then add the diced shallots. Saute for several minutes, until tender.
- add the tomato and jalepeno and cook for about 2-3 minutes
- pour in the stock, add the lime juice and the sugar
- cover and let simmer for 20 minutes
- add the chicken and heat through
- season with salt and pepper
- just before service add the avocado and the cilantro
Serve chips and salsa on the side
What to go vegetarian? Easy. Switch out the chicken stock for vegetable stock and substitute the chicken for black beans or kidney beans, you can also add corn for some more texture and flavour, too
