A vibrant and flavorful soup combining tender chicken, creamy avocado, and zesty lime for a delightful meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the diced chicken breast to the saucepan and cook until browned.
Cut the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Pour in the chicken broth, lime juice, and diced tomatoes with chilies. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Add the diced avocado and chopped cilantro to the soup and stir gently.
Add the avocado at the end to maintain its texture and flavor.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, lime wedges, and tortilla chips.
Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
