  • ½cupchopped onions
  • ½cupchopped celery
  • 2teaspoonsground cumin
  • ¼teaspoonground black pepper
  • 3(14 ounce) canschicken broth
  • 1cupwater
  • 1cupdiced tomatoes
  • 1tablespoonchopped fresh cilantro
  • Toppings:

  • 1cupshredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1cupcrushed tortilla chips
  • 1avocado – peeled, pitted and diced

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Lay chicken breasts evenly onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix.

    Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Allow to cool enough to handle, then shred or cut into strips.

    While chicken is cooking, warm oil in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions and celery in hot oil until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and water; bring to a boil. Add remaining 1 tablespoon taco seasoning mix, cumin, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.

    Add chicken, tomatoes, and cilantro; simmer for 5 minutes. Serve soup hot topped with cheese, tortilla chips, and avocado.
