In a 2 1/2 gallon pot add chicken breasts, chicken base, garlic, garlic powder, cumin and black pepper to 7 quarts of water and bring to a rolling boil for 10 minutes. Add yellow onions, carrots, zucchini, potato, cabbage, jalapenos, celery, rice and tomato juice and boil again for 5 minutes. Then add tomatoes and cook slowly for 20 minutes.
Puree chipotle peppers and adobo sauce (you may add a small amount of water and add to other ingredients.) Simmer for 5 minutes. Just before serving, remove chicken and cut into strips; float cilantro leaves on top of soup for best flavor.
Place tortilla strips on bottom of each soup bowl and cover with hot soup. Add ample chicken strips and cheddar cheese to each bowl. Allow cheese to melt; garnish with avocado. Serve with warm flour tortillas. Serves 15.
