Introduction

Based on a soup I had in New Mexico. Super healthy and tasty, even if you don't normally like cabbage and radishes. Based on a soup I had in New Mexico. Super healthy and tasty, even if you don't normally like cabbage and radishes.

Tips

*Use low sodium black beans and hominy to decrease sodium.
*Mine wasn't very spicy, but you can seed the pepper if you're worried about it being too hot.


Directions

Brown chicken in a little bit of olive oil, turning once. Remove from heat.
Heat olive oil in soup pot, add onions, sauté about 3 minutes. Add garlic and Serrano peppers. Add spices, salt and pepper to taste, cook 5 minutes. Add green chilis, hominy, black beans, and chicken, then add 3-4 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil, simmer about 10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Serve with shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado slices, and cheese on top. Also good with green onions and fresh squeezed lime.
