It is a soup that is incredibly simple, deliciously fresh, and full of flavorful chicken and lots of addictive avocados. Of course, we can’t all resist soups during the cold weather months, but this soup is just something so cheerful and summery. The abundance of fresh flavors must have something to do with it. It is a great chicken recipe, and the best way to use avocados.
