Ingredients

  • Ingredients for Soup:
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2½ cups chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 2 (6-inch) corn tortillas, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 teaspoons Spice of Life “Southwestern Mesquite” spices or make my blend of spices, see shopping tips below
  • 6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, I like Swanson’s
  • 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14 oz) can yellow hominy, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups cooked chopped chicken
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Ingredients for Topping:
  • 1¼ cups reduced-fat tortilla chips, crushed

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick pot, add olive oil, onions and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.
  2. Add chopped tortillas, tomato paste, and Southwestern mesquite seasonings or my blend (see shopping tip) and sauté for 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in chicken broth and tomatoes. Bring up to a boil, turn down heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add hominy, beans, chicken and fresh squeezed lime juice. Mix well. Cook 10 minutes more.
  5. Shopping Tips-At a wine event on the Central Coast of California, I discovered the most amazing spice company called Spice of Life. They sell many fabulous blends of the most delicious, all natural spices. In this recipe, I used their “Southwestern Mesquite.” It gives this soup a rich, wonderful flavor. Visit their website to order some or see where they sell their line of spices at www.PasoSpices.com. You won’t be disappointed! And, they’re super nice people too!
  6. If you don’t want to use Spice of Life’s blend, you can make your own with this combination of spices-2 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoons chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. If you desire more heat, add ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne).
