Chicken No-tortilla Soup


·        A Rotisseri Chicken(take the meat off the bone and shred it)
·        1 container of low sodium chicken broth 32oz (gluten free is healthier)
·        1 can of diced tomatoes with green chili (regualr tomato if you don't want it SPICY)
·        1 can mild enchilada sauce
·        1 tsp cumin
·        1 tsp chili powder
·        1 bunch cilantro
·        1 avocado
·        1 onion
·        2 cloves minced garlic
·        2 carrots
·        2 ribs celery
·        1 bay leaf
·        olive oil

Instructions:
Debone the chicken and chop it into chunks. Set it aside. Get a pot going with a little olive oil and saute your onion, carrot and celery until softened. Add in the minced garlic and saute a minute more being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes with chilies and enchilada sauce to the pot and give it a good stir. Next throw in your spices.

Bring the broth to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer it for about 30 minutes giving the flavors time to blend. Add in the chopped chicken and a handful of chopped cilantro. Keep simmering until the chicken is heated through. Spoon the soup into a bowl and top it with a few chunks of avocado. Pure heaven
