Craving a nice warm soup on a cold winters day? This creamy fire-roasted tomato chicken soup with avocado is the best and sure to hit the spot! (DF + GF)

This is my favorite soup, ya’ll! I came up with it when I was pregnant a few years back with my daughter Mary. In all my pregnancies, I’ve never had an issue with spicy foods. In fact, all my babies seem to love them. This creamy fire-roasted tomato chicken soup will warm your soul during those cold winter months. I love to add half an avocado to the top or cut up one and have chunks in my soup. The base of the soup is coconut milk so a good does of another healthy fat. I mix shredded chicken in for my protein. The fire roasted tomatoes round out the spiciness to the mix. To take it up a notch, buy fire roasted tomatoes with green chili. With all these flavors you’ll be ready for that second bowl.
Ingredients you’ll need:
Great news, they are all pantry staples!!!
- Fire roasted diced tomatoes (optional with green chili)
- Coconut milk
- Shredded chicken
- Avocado

How to make
Pour both cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes into a large sauce pan. Heat on medium-high heat until bubbling.
Pour coconut milk in and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and remove off stove top.
With an immersion blender, blend the mixture making sure there are no more chunks of diced tomatoes. You could use a blender or food processor but since the soup is very hot a hand held immersion blender is going to work the best.
Pour into individual soup bowls and top the shredded chicken and avocado.
What are the best tomatoes to use?
Fire-roasted diced tomatoes are the best for this recipe. If you want to turn down the spice, diced tomatoes will be your best bet. If you want to turn up the heat like I do, I recommend fire roasted tomatoes with green chilis.
What I love about this recipe
- Flavorful- I love the spicy flavors combined with the coconut milk giving the soup a rich creamy texture with bold flavors.
- Healthy- this soup combines carbs, protein and ample healthy fats to sustain the body.
- Pantry Staples- everything that goes into this soup I have in my pantry or refrigerator.
- Minimal prep time + easy clean up- this soup comes together in under 15 minutes on the stove. Plus, only one pot to clean and the immersion blender.

Tips + Tricks
- Make sure to prep shredded chicken ahead of time. We cook whole chickens at a time then part them out for meals. You can also use a rotisserie chicken.
- You can substitute coconut milk for coconut cream, the texture will be more creamier.
- Choose the diced tomatoes based on level of heat preference: mild- diced tomatoes, medium- diced fire roasted tomatoes, hot- diced fire roasted tomatoes with green chilis.
