Chicken Pozole Soup

Warm Yellow Corn Tortillas
Pico de Gallo




This is a version of the classic pozole made in the crock pot. If you have chicken left over from last night’s Roasted Chicken with Orzo, this is a perfect way to use up the leftovers. Throw it together in the morning, and come home to a nice warm dinner. If you have time, make the Pico de Gallo the night before, or that morning, so the flavors have more time to blend.

Ingredients:
2 cups of cooked, diced chicken
4 cups of chicken broth
4 green onions, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1 jar of green chilis
2 cans of hominy, including the liquid
1 cup of chopped cilantro
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp Mexican oregano, ground
2 Tbsp cumin, ground
2 tsp salt

In the morning:
Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 7-9 hours.

In the afternoon:

Make the Pico de Gallo if you haven’t done so already.
Warm the corn tortillas over a gas flame or in the microwave.
Serve the soup with tortillas. Garnish the soup with the Pico de Gallo.
