Chicken And Avocado Soup

The ultimate best way to pick up your mood and boost your immune system is to indulge not in a bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce and starry sprinkles, but a bowlful of steaming homemade chicken pot pie soup. Though if you’ve found a Paleo ice cream that is simply irresistible, and healthy too, do let us know! We’ll keep that in mind for dessert.

If you’ve been diligent and kept up with your meal preparation for the week, chances are good that you will have some pre-cooked and shredded chicken on hand. If not, now is a good time to plan ahead and make this simple recipe a monthly event. However, know that it is never too late to enjoy this chicken and avocado soup for dinner or lunch. All you have to do is to dice some chicken breast, fry it in your favorite skillet, then set it aside and add it to the soup pot when the timing is right – that is, when you add the chicken stock. If you are lucky enough to have a healing broth on hand, consider that a success! Naturally, you can also buy it from the store if you don’t have time to make your own.

Be flexible in cooking and don’t sweat the small stuff, make do with what you have in both time and ingredients – and cook everything with love.
