Warm chicken avocado tortilla soup is wonderful on a cold winter day. There is something about warm soup on a cold day that just makes you feel better. I know that it seems to warm me up inside, and I just feel happier.

The thing that is so fun about this chicken avocado tortilla soup is that you can add avocados, corn tortillas, sour cream and extra lime juice if you like. Big chunks of chicken, black beans, corn, and tomatoes make this a pretty healthy meal. The spices make this wonderful.

I grew up in the country, and when I was in high school, there where 65 in my class. My kids can not even imagine that! They all went to a very large high school. Like about 1500 students. Sometimes I get the opportunity to go back and visit the school.

The building has changed a little because they have added on here and there. In some ways it seems like I was just there yesterday, and in other ways, it feels like it was forever ago. One thing that I do remember, is that when I was young, my mom worked outside of the home.

We had soup out of a can, and we never got anything like chicken avocado tortilla soup. I don’t know why I didn’t make things when I was younger, we would have all really enjoyed many of the recipes that I make now a days.

I realize that when you are younger or at least for me, I didn’t think of others, because I was too busy thinking about myself. I now know that I enjoy serving others and I also like eating good food. Isn’t it so interesting that we use food for parties, and for when people are down and out, we use food to try and cheer people up, and we also use food for special occasions. Food really does bring us together.

We have new neighbors that moved in and the first thing that I thought to myself was I need to make them something, I wonder what they would like to eat. Also, my daughter is going to an auction tonight and I thought to myself, I wonder what people would like to buy at the auction?

 

Tips and Tricks For Chicken Avocado Tortilla Soup:

 

• If you like oregano, you can add 1 teaspoon, as it makes it a little more flavorful.
• Make sure that you add your avocado right before serving so that it will not go soft and dark.
• You may want to add small pieces of chips that you have crushed to the top of the soup for time sake.
