Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Chicken and Hominy Soup.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chicken pieces along with chopped onion, diced chipotle peppers, and minced garlic, adding a pinch of garlic salt for extra flavor.
Step 3
Stir occasionally as everything cooks together, allowing the chicken to develop a lovely golden-brown color, which should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Next, pour in the enchilada sauce, hominy, diced tomatoes, black beans, and a splash of water.
Step 5
To elevate the taste, sprinkle in chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cover the pot and lower the heat to let it simmer.
Step 8
Allow the soup to bubble away for about 40 minutes, giving the flavors time to mingle and deepen.
Step 9
Just before serving, brighten up your dish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro, adding a burst of color and freshness.
Step 10
Enjoy this hearty soup that’s perfect for cozy nights or gatherings with friends!.
