  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion softens.
  • Stir in the cumin and oregano and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained tomatoes and chicken breasts. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Cook for 15 to 18 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it with two forks, and return it to the broth.

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with avocado slices and lime wedges.

Add the lime juice only after the soup comes off the heat to keep the flavor bright. If you want to prep ahead, cook the base and shred the chicken the day before, then reheat and finish with lime and cilantro right before serving. Skip the avocado if you plan to freeze leftovers, since it does not hold up well.
