Chicken posole soup



Its been a very mild and dry winter so far this year, but when it rains hot chicken soup sounds like a good idea. This is basic chicken soup with a little help from Mexico. The key ingredient is Hominy which is corn with the outer skin of the kernel removed, very common ingredient in southern states and Mexico. Start with diced yellow onions, garlic, carrot, celery and pasilla chili pepper, saute till soft then add hominy, chicken leg meat, oregano, water or chicken stock and chili powder. Bring to a simmer for a hour, check for proper seasoning then finish with a squeeze of lime.
