Avocado Lime Soup With Chipotle Chile Recipes

AVOCADO SOUP WITH CHILE OIL

Steps:

• Make the soup: Heat a medium pot over medium-low. Add the oil and heat, then add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and slightly brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook to slightly brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the vegetable broth.
• Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and cook until the onion and garlic are soft and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes, then add the almond milk and turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm.
• To finish the soup, combine the avocados, cilantro, lime juice, broth mixture and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend until completely smooth, adding up to ½ cup of broth or water as needed if the mixture is too thick. (You may need to do this in batches.) Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Chill if you prefer the soup cold.
• Make the chile oil: Heat a small saucepan over medium-low, then add the oil and chiles. Continuously stir the chiles in the hot oil until they become fragrant, deepen in color and stain the oil a red-orange hue, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor with a pinch of salt and pulse until the chiles are finely ground.
• Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until chilled to serve cold. Divide the soup among bowls and garnish with pepitas, chives, tortilla chips and chile oil.

CHILI LIME AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Halve avocados and remove pit. Roll limes or heat in microwave for 10 seconds to get juices flowing. Halve the limes. Rub the avocado halves gently with 1/2 lime to retard the browning. Juice limes into small bowl and mix with sugar, chili powder and salt using a fork or small whisk. Add extra-virgin olive oil in a slow stream while mixing dressing. Pour dressing into the cavities of avocados, distributing it equally and serve. Garnish with chives or cilantro as an optional garnish.

AVOCADO-LIME SOUP WITH CHIPOTLE CHILE

Steps:

• Pulse avocados, onion, garlic, chile, salt and cumin in a food processor until pureed. Add yogurt and cilantro; pulse until well combined. Transfer avocado mixture to a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup ice water and lime juice. (Thin with more water, if desired.) Cover and chill until cold, 1 hour. Divide soup among 4 bowls; garnish with chips and salsa before serving.

CHIPOTLE LIME AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, maple syrup, chipotle pepper and, if desired, cayenne until blended. In another bowl, combine avocados, cucumber and chives. Drizzle with dressing; toss gently to coat. Serve over tomatoes.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH LIME AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Bring the chicken stock to a simmer, add the onion, garlic and chile, and simmer 15 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, and simmer for another five minutes. Taste and adjust salt, then stir in the chicken breast and chopped cilantro. Cover and let sit for five minutes. Add the lime juice.
• Divide the avocado between four soup bowls. Ladle in the soup, place a slice of lime on each bowl, and serve with crisp corn tortillas.

AVOCADO SOUP WITH CHICKEN AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Arrange tortilla strips on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and jalapenos in oil until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, chicken broth, lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper. Gently simmer until chicken is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Stir in avocado and cilantro and heat through, 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
• Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with tortilla strips to serve.

SPICY LIME AVOCADO SOUP

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add chicken; boil until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 minutes. Drain.
• Run cool water over chicken to speed cooling process. Shred or finely slice chicken.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/2 onion, lime juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, jalapeno peppers, and garlic until onion is slightly greenish in color, about 5 minutes.
• Combine 4 cups water and bouillon powder in a small bowl. Pour into the pot. Let cook until just heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir chicken into the pot.
• Ladle soup into 4 bowls. Top with remaining 1/2 onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, avocado, and queso fresco.

CHICKEN AVOCADO LIME SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
• Once hot, add green onions and jalapenos and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes, adding garlic during last 30 seconds of sautéing.
• Add chicken broth, tomatoes, cumin, season with salt and pepper to taste and add chicken breasts. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to medium, cover with lid and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken has cooked through 10 - 15 minutes (cook time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts).
• Reduce burner to warm heat, remove chicken from pan and let rest on a cutting board 5 minutes, then shred chicken and return to soup.
• Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
• Add avocados to soup just before serving (if you don't plan on serving the soup right away, I would recommend adding the avocados to each bowl individually, about 1/2 an avocado per serving).
• Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream if desired.
