Instructions
- Combine avocado oil, green onions, garlic and jalapeno in a large stock pot (at least 5 qt) and saute until all items are soft and fragrant.
- Add chicken broth, salt and cumin and let simmer for about 20 minutes, you have to let those flavors mingle!
- Toss in avocado and using an immersion blender, blend until all avocado is pureed and smooth. Alternately, if you don’t have an immersion blender (get one…it’s a must kitchen gadget!) you can puree in a blender in small amounts. But PLEASE…remember that hot liquids in a blender have to be done carefully, VERY carefully in small batches. Otherwise you’ll have a burning, hot mess of a volcano out the top of your blender and all over your hands and kitchen! Please get an immersion blender!
- After avocado is completely smooth, add shredded chicken, chipotle chili flakes, lime juice, poblano peppers and chopped cilantro. Taste and add additional salt, pepper and/or lime juice.
- Serve and enjoy!
