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 hominy, 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
