Steps:
- To prepare the mushrooms, you will need about in 1 cup of diced mushrooms (for the soup base) and the rest should be sliced or chopped into bite size pieces. If there are any very small mushrooms you can leave them whole (if you prefer).
- Heat the oil in large soup pot and add the diced mushrooms, let them cook until they release any liquid and then continue cooking until the liquid reduces leaving just the oil which should start to brown the mushrooms.
- Add the diced onions, green onions, cilantro, jalapeños, crushed garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until all the ingredients are soft.
- Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and tomato juice. Bring to a boil, add the mushrooms and cook over low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes. The mushrooms will reduce in size by the time the soup is done.
- Stir in the lime juice and remove from the heat. Add some of the chopped cilantro and green onions.
- Serve immediately garnished with queso fresco, tortilla chips, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, green onions and lime slices.

Steps:
- Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, chipotle peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes to a food processor. Puree until well combined, with no large pieces remaining, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and the oregano.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot if it appears dry. Pour the reserved puree into the pot. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid has started to evaporate. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until nearly all the moisture has been cooked out and the puree has reduced to a dark paste, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 20 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the shredded chicken and bring to a simmer.
- Once the stock is simmering, stir in the hominy and bell pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Add the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
- Serve the soup hot, with onion, cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, tortilla strips, and lime wedges alongside for topping.
- Enjoy!
