From my sister in law, Alex, who originally received the recipe from my other sister in law, Erin. Healthy and robust in flavor, this is one of my favorites soups.
1/2 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 medium or 8 small tomatillos, chopped
1 tbsp. cumin
In stockpot, saute the above ingredients for 10-15 minutes.
Add:
2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is yummy)
6 cups chicken broth
1 16 ounce fresh spicy salsa (made from scratch or purchased from the deli area at the grocery store)
1 15 ounce yellow hominy (drain)
1 15 ounce white hominy (drain)
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Optional Toppings:
tortilla chips
avocado (a must)
rice (a must)
cheese
lime (a must)
NUTRITIONAL VALUE (soup only):

Ok, I have a few questions for you. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you pick a perfect tomatillo, and where is the best place to find them? Latin stores? The regular grocery store? Farmers markets?
Thanks!!
I love farmer's markets but any other store will do just fine. A split husk and a brightly colored tomatillo is best. Avoid brown spots and discolored veins. :)
