Ingredients

8 cups reduced sodium Chicken Broth

8 chicken thighs, bone and skin removed

1 small can diced Green Chili Peppers

1 tsp Oregano, ground

2 bunches fresh cilantro

1 large white Onions

5 Tomatillos

2 25oz cans of prepared hominy

6 cloves Garlic

1 tsp ground Coriander

1 tsp ground Cumin

1 TB Olive oil

1 dash Salt to taste

2 Anaheim Peppers

3 Radishes

1 Avocado

3 Jalapeño Peppers

1 Lime

3 Green Onions

Tostadas

Directions

Bring the broth to a boil with the chicken thighs, canned chilis, oregano, 1 green onion, and a handful of cilantro stems. Poach chicken over a low boil until chicken is cooked through and tender. In the meantime, process the tomatillos, Anaheim chili, 2 jalapeños, white onion, olive oil, garlic, 2/3 of one can of hominy, coriander and cumin in a food processor. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly. Process one bunch cilantro and stir into the pan. Your verde will turn a deep green color. Taste and salt if needed. When chicken is finished, turn heat off verde. Shred chicken, and stir into the verde. Strain the broth with a slotted spoon, and discard the herbs and chilis. Stir the verde chicken mixture into the broth with the remaining hominy, half a bunch of chopped cilantro, and heat to a boil for five minutes. Serve by crushing tostadas into a bowl and spooning the soup over the top. Squeeze a quarter of a lime over the Soup, and top with chopped jalapeños, cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, green onion, and thinly sliced avocado.
