Southwestern Chicken Soup

Rating: Unrated

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.Make this healthy soup a little healthier with whole grain rice. Beans and rice are a complete source of protein.
