Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Stir in the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peppers are softened.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken

    Once boiling, add the cooked shredded chicken. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare the toppings by dicing the avocado and chopping the fresh cilantro.

  2. 7

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each serving with tortilla chips, diced avocado, fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a lime wedge.
