Fiesta Tortilla Soup

I woke up to howling wind this morning. Which was kind of a bummer because we were planning a day walking on the beach with the hound. With the frosty wind ripping right through our clothes we only last about 15 minutes. But at least the hound got some fresh air. 
So we decided to warm up with this gem. I use the term "we" loosely- as it was actually all Scot's idea. It's literally a party in your mouth and exactly what we needed.

This recipe calls for 4-6 cups of  shredded chicken. I have the hardest time cooking chicken. When it's up to me I grab a rotisserie chicken. But Scot makes perfect chicken. He promises it's really easy and just seasons the chicken, bakes it at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then pulls it apart after it cools. 

The ingredients list on this one is kind of lengthy- but most of it was things we already have on hand. I was super excited avocados were on sale today. On sale in Kodiak is $2.99 each as apposed to $4.99. I know. It would probably still be worth it for this recipe though- it bursts with so much flavor. ​
