This is a favorite recipe of mine! Warm and spicy and topped with avocado! How can you go wrong?!

This soup is even easier when you make the chicken ahead of time with my crockpot shredded chicken recipe. You can easily have your 2 cups of shredded chicken ready to go, thawed from the freezer or even throw it in this warm soup broth frozen.
