Ingredients
Scale
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
6 cups chicken broth
1 can hominy, drained
2 cups fresh tomatillos, husked and chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
Instructions
In a large pot, combine chicken thighs and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Remove chicken, shred it, and set aside. Add tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot.
Simmer the mixture for another 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
Stir in hominy and shredded chicken, cooking for another 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice before serving.
Notes
For a spicier soup, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
This soup is great served with avocado slices and tortilla chips.
