Here's a silky soup that doesn't rely on cream for its creamy texture; pureed avocados do the job nicely. It doesn't rely on long cooking for its full flavor, either — the soup's in the pot for less than 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 tbsp. Cooking oil
- 4 inch corn tortillas
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 jalapeño chile
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
- 1/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
- 3 1/2 c. water
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 onion
- 3 c. canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 1 lb. boneless
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Add the tortillas and cook, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the tortillas from the pot and drain on paper towels.
- In a blender, combine the garlic, jalapeño, avocados, lime juice, Tabasco, 1 1/2 cups of the water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Puree until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in the pot over moderate heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and the remaining 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer. Stir the chicken into the pot; cook until just done, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the avocado puree. Heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve the soup topped with the crisp tortilla strips.
- Notes: Even easier: Use broken-up tortilla chips in place of the fried tortilla strips.
- Wine Recommendation: Rich avocados demand a full-bodied white wine. This is a great opportunity to drink one of those big, oaky California chardonnays that can overpower less flavorful foods.
