My mother-in-law, Sherry, comes up with the best soup recipes. She is the 'queen of soup'! One of our family favorites is this hearty, rich and delicious soup. It can also be made with turkey. A nice green salad on the side rounds out a perfect meal.

I enjoyed this soup very much however the broth is VERY spicy. If you do not use the avocado I highly recommend that you cut back on the chipotle peppers. The avocado mellows the broth out nicely but it still has a great deal of kick to it. The only change I made is that I did not cook the rice first because I wanted it more firm. Read More

I made a big batch for freezing. Like one of the other reviewers I also substituted quinoa for white rice added a can of fire roasted tomatoes and left out the chicken and the cheese. The avocado was a nice touch. Next time I might throw in some lemon juice. Read More

After reading the reviews and then rereading the recipe I thought it might be somewhat bland but this was a really good soup. I used vegetable broth and left out the chicken and cheese and I used uncooked quinoa instead of cooked rice so the soup was a little heartier. Plus I used fresh oregano (and a little extra to pump up the flavor) and about 1/2 tsp sea salt. By itself the broth was VERY spicy but the garbanzos and avocado helped mellow out the heat. For me it didn't need the cheese--the flavor combo actually tasted a bit cheesy on its own. Read More

I bought a can of chipotle peppers... then needed to find a recipe to use it! With all the exciting ingredients I expected more flavor. The cheese and avocado cubes were fun additions. We added salt at the table. Read More

Very good recipe. Nice change of pace. We added some crushed up tortilla chips at the table that added a nice crunch. Definately need to have the cheese and avocado with it. Will make again. Read More

This was delicious. If you want to cut the spiciness down cut out the seeds in the chipotle pepper then add them to individual bowls as desired. Read More

This was a little spicy for several of the people I served it to but others raved about it. In the future I will probably try to make it less spicy. Read More

Very good easy soup. I sauteed some onions and garlic first and added broth and rest of ingredients to pot. It would be great w/some chopped fresh cilantro. Didn't have this time will next time. Read More
