If you can't find posole, which is also called hominy, feel free to substitute frozen corn kernels.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium rib celery, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 cups chicken broth, low-sodium canned
- 1/4 cup canned green chiles
- 1 (15 1/2-ounce) can posole, drained or frozen corn kernels
- 4 canned whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup cooked skinless shredded chicken breast (about 4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the green chiles, posole, tomatoes, and oregano and cook for another 5 minutes.
Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chicken, cilantro leaves, and lime juice. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

The soup was okay. I will probably make it again; however will need to improvise and add some more ingredients. I found it to be a little flat. We put shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream on it, and it was oh so much better, as well as more fattening!

Mmm! This soup is SO easy and quick to make. I use a rotisserie chicken. You could also add potatoes or chayote (not both. I serve w/tostadas topped w/black beans and quesadilla cheese. Hits the spot!

Excellent soup!! I added a can of corn as well as the hominy. Put a scoop of Mexican yellow rice in the bowl, then add the soup. Yum.
