- Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.

- Serve the soup hot, garnished with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
Notes
Roast the tomatillos for the best flavor. Consider using homemade or high-quality broth for richer taste. Fresh ripe avocados add the best texture and flavor to the garnish.
