We love this soup! I've made this several times since finding it when doing a search for recipes using whole hominy (posole - I love hominy, too!. It's dreary, chilly and rainy today, and my husband has a terrible spring cold. When I asked him what he wanted for dinner he said chicken soup. I asked whether he wanted chicken noodle, or Mexican Chicken soup, and Mexican Chicken Soup was his answer. I use a can of petite diced tomatoes, or sometimes fire roasted diced tomatoes, juice and all, rather than the tomatoes called for. I also top it with tortilla strips, and sometimes shredded cheddar cheese. I like to serve it with Tex-Mex Cornbread with Cheese and Green Chiles from another site. It makes a wonderful, very satisfying meal.

This soup was fantastic. I used 2 cartons of broth (8 cups which turned out just fine. As suggested by a reviewer I used a whole can of diced chilis but I pureed 1/2 the can with a can of diced tomatoes. I also used 2 15oz. cans of hominy and I bought a roasted chicken and used almost all of it. The cilantro and lime juice are a must, brings out the flavors. I topped it with tortilla strips and shredded cheese. Next time I want to use a dollop of sour cream. This made a nice dinner served with corn bread muffins.

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.

PERFECT SOUP! This is one of the first things I ever tried to cook all by myself... I leave out the tomatoes since I'm not a fan ... otherwise follow it to a tea and perfection everytime. Its also really good and gets a better flavor when left overnight and eaten the next day.

I made this soup for my three nieces when I was babysitting them (ages 7, 5.5 and almost 3, and ALL of them ate it! Honestly, they are picky eaters, too. I didn't have green chiles, and I think I put a little more chicken in than what it called for. I added a can of black beans for some more substance. Also, I used a meyer lemon instead of a lime (because that's what I had. This soup is not spicy AT ALL as written (or maybe because I didn't have green chiles?, which is probably why the little ones could eat it. This is a great soup to make if you have kids because you can spicen-up your bowl separately. I gave the kids shredded mont jack cheese and tortilla chips to top it. Kid approved: you get five stars!

This was my first time making this and it was really good! My husband loved it! The only variation I did was to add hot sauce and more cumin and a can of black beans. We tend to like things a bit more spicy.... And, I only added the black beans because several others had done via the reviews. I will be doing this again!

I made this for a group of friends and everybody LOVED it. The only variation that I did was to serve the cilantro on the side so people could add it if they wanted it. I also served shredded cheese, tortilla chips, diced jalapeños, cubed avocado, sour cream, and lime wedges on the side.

Yummy and easy! My husband isn't a big soup fan because he feels it just can't fill him up, so I made it thicker by adding more chicken and a can of black beans. He also usually says my food is "very good" but would be "great" if it was just spicier, so I also added four canned jalapenos. I served it with some homemade cornbread and it was a hit.
