HEARTY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, chipotle peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes to a food processor. Puree until well combined, with no large pieces remaining, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and the oregano.
• In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer to a cutting board. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the same pot if it appears dry. Pour the reserved puree into the pot. Cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, until the liquid has started to evaporate. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until nearly all the moisture has been cooked out and the puree has reduced to a dark paste, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 20 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits. Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the shredded chicken and bring to a simmer.
• Once the stock is simmering, stir in the hominy and bell pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Add the lime juice and season with salt to taste.
• Serve the soup hot, with onion, cilantro, avocado, cotija cheese, tortilla strips, and lime wedges alongside for topping.
• Enjoy!

HOMINY (HOMEMADE)

Steps:

• Place corn in an enameled pan; add water and lye.
• Boil vigorously for 30 minutes.
• Let stand for 20 minutes.
• Rinse off lye with several hot water rinses.
• Follow with cold water rinses to cool for handling.
• Work hominy with hands until dark tips of kernels are removed.
• This may take awhile.
• Separate the tips from the corn by floating them off.
• Add water to cover hominy about 1 inch and boil 5 minutes; change water.
• Repeat this step 4 times.
• Add water and cook until kernels are soft (30 to 45 minutes) and drain; saving this hot water you drain off.
• Pack hominy into sterile jars about 1/2 full.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt to each quart jar.
• Fill to within 1/2 inch of top of jar with water in which the corn was last cooked in or boiling water.
• Put on cap, screw band firmly tight.
• Process: using 10 pounds of pressure.
• Pints for 60 minutes.
• Quarts for 70 minutes.
• I used quart jars and only filled them half full with the hominy.
• Because during the processing, the hominy will expand.

VEGETARIAN HOMINY CHILI WITH BEANS

Steps:

• Saute garlic in the canola oil in a large sauce pan or small pot.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
• If using TVP, add water if chili gets too thick as TVP will absorb liquid pretty quickly.
• Garnish with cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream.

SMOKED HAM HOCK HOMINY STEW

• Transfer ham hocks to work surface. Remove meat and cut into bite-size pieces. Discard fat and bones. Return meat to pot. Add hominy and simmer until hominy is just tender, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat until heated through.) Ladle into bowls and serve.
