Spicy Chicken and Hominy Soup image

This slow-cooked soup is also called "posole," a traditional good luck New Year's meal in my native New Mexico. Everyone makes it differently-my soup answers the age-old chili question, "Red or green?" by using both!-Janet Christine McDaniel, Arlington, Texas

CHICKEN HOMINY SOUP



Chicken Hominy Soup image

I don't eat pork so I made a kosher version of a very delicious meal. This is amazing and I always seem to be doubling this recipe--it disappears so fast on the table. If the chili powder is omitted, it's more of a chicken soup instead of a spicy soup.
