1 clove garlic, minced
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1 stalk(s) celery, chopped
1 large serrano chile or jalapeno pepper, minced (and seeded, if desired)
14 oz can diced tomatoes, drained (or about 1 pound fresh tomatoes, diced)
1 c cooked chicken breast, shredded finely
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1 to 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (plus thin slices lime, for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring the chicken stock to a simmer. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and chile, and simmer 15 minutes.

This soup is too bland for my taste. I'm going to add some chili powder and cumin to spice it up.

I'm not a fan of cilantro. Can I leave it out of this recipe?

This recipe looks delicious, but I'm allergic to avocados. Is there anything I can substitute for them?

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some in the freezer, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.
