3 teaspoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 avocados, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
lime wedges
Instructions

Shred rotisserie chicken and set meat aside 
In a dutch oven or equivalent, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat until hot.
Add the 1 cup chopped green onions and minced garlic to pot; Sauté about 2 minutes.
Add diced tomato; Sauté 1 minute, until soft.
Add chicken broth, cumin, and salt to pot.
Stir well and bring to a boil.
Cover pot and simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes.
Layering in separate bowls; Fill each bowl with shredded chicken, diced avocado, chopped green onions (from the remaining 1/2 cup), and cilantro. Next, ladle the chicken broth onto the layered chicken in each bowl. Serve each bowl with a lime wedge.

I found this recipe on Pinterest, it is not my recipe. I just copied and pasted from mamamiss.com, the only thing i changed was using a rotisserie chicken for the meat instead of cooking the chicken breasts. This recipe is my new favorite it so delicious i didn't need to change a thing! I had to share it with my readers, i hope you all enjoy this soup as much as i do !

Some photos from a fun day spent in seaport village with some dear friends.  On another note I have been wanting to buy some VSCO film presets for so long and finally got around to getting some this past weekend and I am in LOVE ! I edit all my iPhone photos with vsco and when I found out they also have them for Lightroom 4 I was more than excited! I've been having some fun playing around with the different presets in the photos above, it saves me so so much time editing and gives such a clean and sharp look to all photos. I highly recommend these presets to anyone who uses Lightroom ! I purchased packages 1 and 5 and am looking forward to getting some more in the future!

Last weekend I was finally able to knock two things off my bucket list that have been on there forever : The Kobey's Swap Meet and Little Italy's farmers market.  If you live locally i highly recommend going to this farmers market ! They have it every saturday in Little Italy, San Diego. While you are there i recommend heading over to Napizza for lunch, they have delicious lunch specials which are very affordable ! Napizza is our new favorite eating spot for sure.
