Mexican Chicken Soup

I was watching the Pioneer Woman's show on Food Network. She made a Tortilla soup and it gave me an inspiration to make my own Mexican Chicken Soup.

 
 
 

Mexican Chicken Soup

2 jalapeno
2 Tbs olive oil
½ onion, diced
4 zucchini, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 ½ cup shredded rotisserie chicken
8 cups chicken broth
1 cans 14 oz chopped tomatoes
1 tsp chile powder
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
2 Bay leaves
1/2 cup fideo or shredded vermicelli
Salt & pepper
Chopped cilantro
Sliced avocados
Lime

Roast the jalapeno until the skin blisters. Let cool, peel the skin and de-seed. Chop the jalapenos.
 
Heat olive oil and sauté onion until translucent. Add zucchini, celery, jalapeno and sauté until softened. Add chicken broth, tomatoes and rotisserie chicken. Add spices and simmer on low until vegetables are soft. Increase heat to high and add fideo. Cook until noodles are soft. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add cilantro leaves.
 
Garnish with avocado and lime.
