The soup came out delicious. The only adjustments I made were adding a teaspoon of cumin, per other reviewer recommendations. I used red kidney beans instead of black beans and I omitted the hominy. The flavor of the soup is outstanding, but what really makes great is the toppings. Yum! I love that it was quick and easy to make. A great way to use some leftover chicken. I definitely plan on holding onto this recipe to make again.

After about a year of looking over this recipe, I finally decided to make it. I read and re-read most of the reviews. From there a made a few small variations. Like most, I opted out of the oregeno and used cumin instead. I also added ancho pepper for a nice kick on the back end. I substituted water for strictly broth,using 4 cups in all. Finally, I diced onions, green peppers, garlic and green chiles, placed them in a small amount of olive oil and sauteeed. I added my chicken (seasoned with salt and pepper) and broth and let cook until chicken was perfectly tender. After reading the reviews, I decided to combine the broth, corn, tomatoes (I used Rotel), chiles, black beans and seasonings in a stock pot and let boil until my chicken was finished. Garnished with cheese, avacado, green onions and tortilla chips; my husband and children LOVED it! This is definitely a house favorite now!

I would shred the chicken next time I make this, and I did also substitute the hominy for an extra cup of corn. Otherwise it was quite good.

Excellent dish, and a crowd pleaser. I fried tortilla strips to add to the top, and added two jalapenos to the soup to give it just the right amount of kick. Very popular at my dinner party.

I did mine in the crock pot - delicious. Sear the chicken before putting it in so it stays juicy. I also sautéed the onion before putting it in too. My only change to the recipe was a bouillon cube with 2 cups of water instead of the condensed chicken broth. It came out great!

Very Good flavor. I cooked my cubed chicken breast, garlic & onion in the olive oil until chicken was no longer pink & onion was cooked. Then added the chicken broth & spices & cooked for 10 min. I didn't have cilantrol so I added 1/2t cumin. I used all chicken broth (no water). After cooking for 10 min.I added the chilies, 15 oz Hominy, 15 oz canned corn, black beans. I served with Monterey Cheddar cheese, tostitos & sour cream. I also baked corn bread as a side.

Outstanding! This is probably the most useful recipe I've found on this site. We are not soup eaters at all, but this one is just so hearty. There is no downside to this. It is affordable, healthy, satisfying, easy to make, easily modified to personal preference, and keeps well for days on end. This one may make soup lovers of us afterall! Well done

My whole family LOVES this recipe. I add about 1/2 cup finely crushed tortilla chips and squeesed in some lime juice. I'm not a big fan of hominy, so I substituted white corn. I cook my chicken all day in the slow cooker and used the broth instead of canned broth and water. I do end up using more broth to thin it out a little. This soup freezes great. I double the batch and freeze several bags to pull out on our busy nights.
