Easy Chicken Posole

“This easy-to-make chicken and hominy soup is one of many great Mexican Christmas traditions, or simply delicious whenever you want to eat something warm and comforting. It's garnished with thinly sliced radishes, shredded lettuce, finely chopped onion, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges, which diners add to the soup as they please.”

GOOD! I did my own measurments. This would have made a lot. I added cilantro, 1 Cup enchilada sauce, and lime.

Bravo! Grilling rather than boiling the chicken adds so much flavor. I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and oregano prior to cooking. I also used extra garlic and a shallot, and omitted the extra salt (strongly recommend others do this too). It was incredibly tasty and yes, authentic.

Really altered the recipe as to what I had on hand but don't think it changed the taste that much. Used leg quarters instead of breasts, didn't think the extra 3 cups of water was necessary and cut back chili powder to 3 T. Used freshly made golden hominy and home made broth. Just a touch of cumin and the flavor blew me away!!! Would have loved to have had the lime wedges and the cilantro...this is a truly authentic recipe!!! Made this for a friend who has just finished radiation for breast cancer and has lost her appetite...but she said she loved Posole and after tasting this recipe, ate a large portion. Thanks very much!!!

We loved this! My good friend who has been making posole forever suggested adding a can of enchilada sauce. I added the enchilada sauce and cut the chili powder to 2 tsp. I can't tell you how often we eat it. It is one of our favorite meals. Thank you deedee for the recipe!

Thank you for this recipe, this was my first time making it and it came out great! I was soo worried for nothing, this was just too easy to make, I only just boiled and shredded chicken thigh meat instead of breast meat.

Great Recipe! Only thing I must say is please use New Mexico chili powder, or California Chili powder. It really makes a HUGE difference. Also, if you don't feel like doing the chicken, buy a rotisserie chicken instead. I also topped mine with shredded cabbage instead of lettuce. I could eat this everyday!

I give this 4 stars because improvement can be made to make it taste better and more authentic. But it is a simple and good starter recipe. I also messed up on the chicken by boiling it the night before to save time. It made it rubbery the next day. I will make again, but perhaps use rotisserie chicken.
