Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh orange juice, chicken broth, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, sea salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add an extra splash of chicken broth to achieve your desired texture.
Transfer the blended soup to a large bowl and stir in the shredded chicken, orange zest, chopped cilantro, and chopped green onions.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the soup to cool completely.
Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if needed.
Divide the soup into bowls, garnish with extra cilantro or green onions if desired, and serve chilled.
