Chicken Posole

Chicken Posole is an absolutely divine cold weather soup. And it is super simple to put together so it could even be done on a weeknight. 



A squeeze of lime, sprinkle of cheese, dollop of sour cream, diced onions, avocado and cilantro. 

Ingredients 
6 cups chicken stock (leave aside 1/2 cup)
2 dried ancho chilies, rehydrated for 45.       
    mins in hot water 
1(28oz) can hominy
1 (14oz) can hominy
Shredded rotisserie chicken
Handful of cilantro, chopped

Toppings
1 lime
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
1/2 onion 
radishes
cabbage
tortilla chips or corn tortillas 

Directions
Rehydrate chilies in a small saucepan of simmering water or soak in a bowl of with boiled water.

Add chicken stock (1/2 cup reserved) hominy and chicken to a pot. Let simmer.

When chilies have softened, remove stems and seeds. Place in blender with the reserved chicken stock. Blend until smooth. Add puree to pot. Simmer a few minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste (usually about 1 tsp salt). Add cilantro. Serve.

*add more or less hominy, chicken or stock. If I add more stock (more soupy) I still only use only 2 chilies.

Serve with onion, sour cream, tortilla chips, grated cheese, lime wedges, radishes and cabbage.
