Time 3h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 fresh poblano chile peppers
8 ounces bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
2 pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, diced
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon New Mexico chile powder
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can mild red enchilada sauce
2 (29 ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the poblano chiles cut-side-down onto the baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard. Dice the chiles.
  • Cook and stir the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until it has released its fat and is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, and discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the pork loin cubes. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot, and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and is beginning to turn brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the roasted poblano chiles, jalapeno peppers, oregano, cumin, New Mexico chile powder, cloves, salt, and cilantro into the onions; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and enchilada sauce. Stir in the bacon and pork cubes, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour. Stir in the hominy, recover, and continue cooking 1 hour more until the pork is very tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs. Bone-in chicken will also add more flavor to the soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a large pot, you can cook a whole chicken. However, if you're using a smaller pot, you may need to cut the chicken into pieces.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your soup, the more nutritious it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded chicken, noodles, rice, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Kickin' chicken soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that's perfect for a cold winter night. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give kickin' chicken soup a try.
