  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes
  • In a separate pan, fry chopped chicken breast and season with chicken spice on a high heat (you can use a non-stick pan, non-stick cooking spray or add a few teaspoons of olive oil).  Fry until cooked through, until you don’t seen any pink bits anymore.

Divide soup in bowls, top with each bowl with chopped chicken bits, chopped salad onions, crushed corn chips, cheddar and avocado.

Let me know once you’ve tried this, would love to know what you think!

You can also quite easily turn this into a vegetarian soup.  Omit the chicken fillets and add a tin of black beans!
