Chicken Posole (30 minute recipe)

I know it's summer and most people don't like eating soup in the summer, BUT this has been sounding so delicious to me! I've always been a fan of posole and this recipe definitely reminded me of my grandmother's recipe; however, this is a super quick recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1-2 pounds cooked chicken (I always shred a rotisserie chicken)
• 8 cups of chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons of cumin
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 29 ounce can of white hominy (drained and rinsed)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil on medium-high heat. 
2. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and add all the ingredients to the pan. 
3. Stir the mixture and keep on low heat until the soup is completely hot. (Remove the bay leaf before eating.)
4. Garnish the soup with avocado, lime, cabbage, cilantro, and/or cottage cheese.
5. Enjoy!

This is a super quick and easy recipe! It's loaded with flavor and just the right amount of spice! Serve it on the next cool day! :)
