Ingredients
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir and cook for about 30 seconds, just until the spices bloom.
- Place the chicken directly into the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and tomato sauce. Stir well.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Ladle into bowls and top with avocado, cilantro, and any low carb toppings you like.
