This top-rated Southwestern chicken soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken.  The creamy chunks of avocado add a richness that's unusual to find in most chicken soups.
Ingredients:
cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup uncooked white rice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (16-ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups chopped skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped seeded tomato
3/4 cup diced peeled avocado (about 1 medium)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
6 lime wedges
Directions:
1. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic, and sauté 3 minutes. Add broth, rice, cumin, and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Stir in chicken, cilantro, pepper, and salt; simmer 5 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly heated.
2. Remove from heat, and stir in tomato, avocado, and juice. Serve with lime wedges.
