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.
