This south-of-the-border twist of chicken soup features the bright flavors of chiles, corn, cilantro, and lime juice. In place of noodles, hominy; in place of crackers, fried tortilla strips. To make fried tortilla strips, cut corn or flour tortillas into long strips and fry in 350°F oil until they start to brown, about 2 minutes.

Preparation
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large (at least 8-quart), heavy-duty pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, jalapeño, garlic, and 1/2 Tbs. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned in places, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the chili powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until they become fragrant, 30 seconds.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are completely tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved shredded chicken, hominy, corn, and tomatoes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until all are tender and the flavors meld, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cilantro and 1 Tbs. of the lime juice. Taste, and add more lime juice, 1 Tbs. at a time, to taste, up to 4 Tbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish each bowl with a small handful of crisped tortilla strips, if you like.
Tip
If you made the chicken broth yourself, use the cooked meat from making the broth; otherwise use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken.

This is amazing. I just use extra corn instead of hominy (because i didn't have any)
I've made this several times and Every ingredient is absolutely necessary... so maybe I'll try it with the hominy next time. :)
My husband says it's the best soup he's ever had in his life.
