Summer Winds

 

Last weekend we had lunch at the Red Iguana downtown. The special of the day was Chicken Posole Verde – a Mexican take on chicken soup. It was the perfect foil for a wet, raw afternoon. I only wish it came in a deeper bowl; one that didn’t allow the soup to cool faster than we could eat it.

 

Slow Cooker Posole Verde

 

1 cup onion, diced.

1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

12 ounces green canned chiles, diced

6 cups chicken stock

28 ounces white hominy, drained and rinsed

3 boneless chicken breasts, or thighs

2 teaspoons cumin (Here’s where most of the heat is. If you’re timid, use 1/2 teaspoon.)

 

Add all ingredients to slow cooker; cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours. Shred chicken before serving. Garnish with:

Chopped avocado

Lime wedges

Crumbled cotija or feta

Shredded cabbage

Thinly sliced radishes

Tortilla chips
