Ingredients

    * 1.5 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken breasts
    * .5 lb Cubed, Boneless Pork
    * 2 cloves Garlic, peeled
    * 3 Dried Ancho Peppers
    * 2 Dried GuajilloPeppers
    * 6 Chiles de Arbol
    * 1 tbsp Salt
    * 1 large can Hominy

Directions

1. Measure 4 qts of water into large pot & add the chicken breasts, hominy and garlic. Bring to a boil, then simmer until hominy is tender (about 2 hrs).

2. To prepare ancho chiles, toast them on a skillet with olive oil over medium heat until the crackle and blister, flip, repeat, remove. To prepare the chiles de arbol, pass quickly through the oil until they darken and crisp a bit. Place them all into a bowl and cover with boiling water & soak 30 minutes. Drain, place into blender, add 1/2 cup water and blend. Add to soup, along with salt (hominy requires the salt, so do not omit).

3. Remove chicken breasts. Shred chicken then return shredded meat to the broth. Let simmer about another hour until all flavors are mixed well.

4. You can garnish with shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, onion, oregano and lime. Good with tostadas, tortilla chips and warm tortillas.
