Chicken Soup


Chicken, brown rice, and avocados are just a few of the ingredients in this healthy soup recipe.   The recipe calls for skinless-boneless chicken breast, but in a pinch we have used canned chicken.  This soup is homey, cozy and super easy to make, not to mention Healthy!  Posting the recipe so you can have a healthy soup during the holidays too.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 Skinless-boneless chicken breast
6 cups chicken stock, homemade or canned
3 carrots, sliced
2 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large avocado, cubed
2 tomatoes, cubed
2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
6 ounce farmer cheese, cubed (I used cheddar)

Directions:
In medium pot, boil the chicken until tender.  Cool, cube and set aside.

In a large soup pot, bring the stock and onion to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.  Add carrots and simmer for 20 minutes.  Add chicken to pot and heat through.

Stir in the rice, lime juice, and pepper.  Heat for 3 minutes but do not boil.

Stir in the avocado, tomatoes and spices.  Heat through.


Place cubed cheese in the bottom of each bowl and ladle soup over the top.
