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

I'm not a huge fan of hominy, but I really enjoyed this soup. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the broth was very flavorful. I would definitely make this soup again.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland and the hominy was a bit too chewy for my taste. I wouldn't make this soup again.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love the combination of the chicken and the hominy. It's a great soup for a cold winter day.
