• 5 chef's notes: if you are able to plan ahead, cook an extra chicken breast a day or two before when preparing another meal. however, if you are short of time or want to make this a vegetarian soup, instead of the diced chicken breast, add an additional avocado. you can, of course, also vary the orange juice-wine ratio.
