Green Chile & Chicken Soup

This is one of my FAVORTIE soups & it's very healthy! This is a play on Chili's Bar & Grill Chicken & Green Chili soup, which I used to order EVERY time I went there but they took it off of the menu :( so I found my own way to make it!

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves 2 cartons (32 oz.) of Chicken broth 2 cans cilantro & rotel tomatoes 1 (7oz) can chopped green chiles 1/2 medium onion, diced 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, minced

Juice from half of a fresh lime cumin, to taste 1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, chopped 1 cup uncooked rice diced avocado salt and pepper, to taste

(sour cream & cheese for topping OPTIONAL)

Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt, pepper and cumin. Place in a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until juices run clear. Shred and set aside. In a stock pot, cook the onion in olive oil over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute (do not let it brown). Add broth, Rotel tomatoes, green chiles, lime juice and cumin. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken and cilantro, simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and more cumin to taste. Cook the rice as directed on package. Ladle soup into individual shallow bowls, add a spoonful of rice in the center and top and a spoonful of avocado chunks.

ENJOY :)
