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.

Used this recipe as a starter and added a few things. Used New Mexico hatch chiles, increased hominy to 45oz. And made spicier with a couple scoops of H&H brand dehydrated hot salsa mix. Have shared this recipe with several friends and its a hit every time. This is absolutely a winner!!!!

This soup was delicious! I did tweak it a bit after reading previous reviews. I used one small can (15 oz, I think of petite tomatoes instead of the whole tomatoes. I also added in a can of drained and rinsed black beans and used the whole small can of green chilies just to use them up. We then topped our bowls of soup with a dollop of plain greek yogurt, sliced avocado, Mexican blend cheese and cilantro. Oh, and I used more chicken! I bought a rotisserie chicken and just used all of the white meat I could get off of it. My dogs were happy to share the dark meat. = I will definitely be making this again!
