    Avocado Soup Recipe

    Let me begin with an admission. I need to tell you that this is one of my most favorite soups of all time. Truly!

    The creaminess of the avocado and fresh flavor of the lime make this every spoonful of this soup amazingly delicious!

    Is Avocado Lime Chicken Soup both healthy and delicious? Oh yes it is! Be sure to check out all these good things avocados bring to the table.

    Avocados:

    • are cholesterol free
    • are sodium free
    • are sugar-free
    • contain naturally good fats
    • are a good source of fiber

    And there's nothing quite as wonderful as a homemade soup and nothing quite as satisfying as making our avocado soup in less than 30 minutes! 

    Now don’t let a hot avocado soup scare you away. It is surprisingly delicious and comforting, and as I mentioned, it’s a favorite of mine.

    Avocado Lime Chicken Soup is a snap to put together on your stove top and will be gone just as quickly when you set it on your table!

    Avocado FAQ’s

    Can you cook avocados?

    Avocados are mostly eaten raw, typically in a salad, guacamole or spread on toast. But yes, avocados can be cooked too. Just be sure not to overheat them or they can become a bit bitter if overheated.

    Will avocado turn brown in soup?

    The lime in avocado soup helps to keep the pieces of avocado from turning brown.

    Do avocados contain fat?

    Yes, avocados contain fat but it is a naturally good for you fat.
