Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add Chicken and Broth

    Stir in the diced chicken breast and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes. Add the drained hominy and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with toppings such as pico de gallo, lime wedges, avocado slices, and tortilla chips.
