Fresh Chicken Avocado Lime Soup (Tangy, Spicy and Meaty Flavor)

When the chill is coming, it’s time for soup. This Chicken Avocado Lime soup is one of the easier to make from fresh ingredients that combine a bit of everything: tangy, salty, spicy, and meaty flavor.

This soup feels so light and aromatic that any guest would ask for a second. For a more appealing presentation, have some tortilla chips on the hands to serve as a side or balance the meal.

If you’re on a certain diet, this can work as a meal replacement too, with so much protein from chicken, healthy fat from avocado, and bunch of vitamins and minerals from herb and vegetables. Just the good all-natural chicken broth/stock that you could find or brew your own from chicken bones.

Just a side note, choosing a breast that has some rib meat on will enhance the taste, as it could be more crunchy and chewy. Skip the oil if you’re making this as a comfort soup for someone to regain their wellness.
