1. Prepare rice then reserve 1 cup for the soup. Cover and refrigerate remaining rice for later use. Remove the chicken skin and discard. Put the chicken in a large saucepan. Add the chicken broth, celery, and oregano. Bring to a boil, skimming the foam as needed, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let chicken sit in the broth about 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix together in a medium bowl the onion, tomato, cilantro, serrano chile, lime juice and salt. Set aside. Remove the chicken from the broth, and when cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bone and shred coarsely. Discard the bones and return the shredded meat to the broth in the pan. Add the reserved cooked rice and the tomato mixture. Bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup, uncovered, 5 minutes. Divide hot soup among 4 bowls. Top with avocado slices and serve.
