Chicken & Chipotle Soup

Low Carb Recipes
CHICKEN & CHIPOTLE SOUP
This soup evolved from the foodstalls that line the streets of Tlalpan, a suburb of Mexico City; avocado, chicken, and chilies make it special

INGREDIENTS
6 cups chicken stock
2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1-2 chipotle chilies, cut into very thin strips (see Cook’s Tip)
1 avocado
lime or lemon juice, for tossing
3-5 scallions, thinly sliced
12-14 oz/350-400 g skinless, boneless cooked chicken breast, torn or cut into shreds or thin strips
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve

Place the chicken stock in a pan with the garlic and chipotle chilies and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, cut the avocado in half lengthwise, then remove and discard the pit and skin. Dice the flesh and toss in lime juice to prevent the flesh turning brown.
Arrange the scallions, chicken, avocado, and cilantro in the bottom of 4 individual soup bowls or in a large soup tureen.
Ladle the hot stock into the bowls and serve with lime wedges.

COOK’S TIP
Chipotle chilies are smoked and dried jalapeno chilies and are available canned or dried. They add a distinctive smoky flavor to dishes and are very hot. Drain canned chipotles before using. Dried chipotle chilies need to be reconstituted before using.
