We absolutely love soups around here! Check out this soup-er tasty Potato Stew for another flavorful recipe idea.

One of my favorite ways to add flavor to my cooking is by adding a little heat. Chipotle is nice because instead of setting your mouth ablaze, it simply adds smokiness with just the slightesttouch offire.

The key is combining a little creaminess to the picture and that comes inthe form of avocado.

Boom!

CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN SOUP

The main component in this soup is obviously the chipotle.

I usually buy the tin of chipotle in adobo sauce. I don’t use it all but the rest that I don’t use in this soup I will transfer to a little air-tight container, glass container.

Later in the week, I might make this chipotle chicken salad or this healthier seven-layer dip.

HOW TO MAKE CHIPOTLE LIME CHICKEN SOUP – STEP BY STEP

I use whatever veggies I have in my crisper for soups.

Things like leftover half peppers and celery on its last legs make for a delicious broth.

Sautéing your veggies with the chipotle peppers allows them to soak up all the smoky goodness.

To make this soup even easier, just toss the chicken breasts into the soup whole to cook. The chicken willpoach in the liquid and will absorb the essence of your veggies and the chipotle peppers.

It also makes your chicken tender and juicy.

Yum!

When the soup is ready the chicken can be simply shredded with a couple of forks and stirred back in.

If you have some cooked grains like brown rice or quinoa throw those in too!

Finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lime and it. is. on!

I may have added more hot sauce because I’m crazy like that. I actually got a bit too wild and added so much extra hot sauce that beads of sweat kind of broke out on my forehead!

Avocado to the rescue. It added just the right amount of creaminess to balance my overzealous hot sauce action. If you have some avocado, toss it in!
