In a large pot, heat the oil on medium. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery and jalapeno. Sauté about 5 minutes, or until onions are tender. Add garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, chicken, lime juice, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
To serve, ladle soup into individual bowls and add cheese, sour cream, avocados or guacamole, tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and/or tortilla chips to your taste.
Notes
Note: I seasoned my chicken with a dry garlic and wine seasoning and then grilled it. You can cook your chicken any way you'd like or use a rotisserie chicken for a quick soup.
