Avocado Chicken Soup

Ingredients:

1 garlic clove
1 jalapeño (seeds and ribs removed)
2 avocados (skinned and pitted)
1 Tbsp lime juice
¼ to ½ tsp ground red pepper (to taste)
1 to 2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion (diced)
4 cups chicken broth
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into ½” strips)

In a blender, combine the garlic, jalapeño, avocados, lime juice, ground red pepper and 1 cup water. Puree until smooth and set aside.

Heat the oil in a 5 qt pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes.
