(Caldo de Pollo y Aguacate)
Category: Chicken and Turkey Soups
Homemade chicken stock delivers the best flavor for this light soup, which includes shredded chicken and sliced avocado. A whole chipotle chile adds a touch of spicy heat. Serve as a first course before a special meal, such as Beef Tenderloin, Huasteca Style or Pork Roast with Plantains and Tangerines (see Meats).
4 cups Basic Chicken Stock
1 cup coarsely shredded cooked chicken breast (from cooking the chicken for the stock)
1 whole canned chipotle chile, en adobo, rinsed and seeded
1 large avocado (Hass variety preferred), thinly sliced
Salt, to taste
Sprig cilantro
Lime wedges
Prepare the chicken stock and store in the refrigerator if made more than a few hours ahead. Then, measure out 4 cups and store the remaining stock for another use. Put the 4 cups of stock into a saucepan. Add the chicken and the chipotle chile. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and add the avocado. Heat 1 minute. Remove the chipotle. Add salt. Divide the soup among 4 soup bowls. Place 1 cilantro sprig on top of each
serving. Serve with lime wedges.
