Chicken and Avocado Soup

This soup is DELICIOUS! A new favorite over here. Flavorful broth and perfect for cilantro lovers. Since you add the avocado, cilantro and chicken in the end, you can doctor it up however you want. I LOVE avocado and would add 3 to one bowl if I could, lol. But that would take any low-fat factor out of it! So just add to your liking.

I found the recipe on Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes. A beautiful blog with tons of wonderful low fat recipes. I am not on WW, but was concerned with my portion control when I was pregnant with Aaron so I started cooking some recipes with the calculated points and calorie counters. Delicious and guilt free!
