    Known as pozole in Spanish, this spiced soup is bursting with authentic Mexican flavor. A blend of tender hominy corn, roasted chicken and zesty seasonings, it’s comfort food at its finest.

Mexican Chicken Soup
Serves 8-10
Prep time: 5-10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium white onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cans (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with chilies
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cans(15 ounce) white hominy*, drained and rinsed
4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (Keep things simple with a store-bought rotisserie chicken.)
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges, avocado slices and thinly sliced radishes, to garnish

*Tip: A common ingredient in Mexican cuisine, hominy is de-shelled corn kernels. Unlike sweet corn, the kernels used to make hominy have tough husks that need to be removed to be edible. Find it in the canned goods aisle at your local grocery store.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat olive oil in a 5-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder and oregano. Mix well.
2. Pour in tomatoes, chicken broth, water and hominy. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer until hominy is tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Add cooked chicken, green onions and cilantro. Stir well, then remove from heat. Serve with lime wedges, avocado and thinly sliced radishes.
