Spicy Tomatillo Soup

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
