Soups & Stews

Amazing, fill-your-house-with-an-aroma-to-drool-for, easy chicken soup. The longer it cooks, the better it gets. The best is made by my mother, but the rest of us can make this wonderful facsimile. Easily multiplied, exceedingly flexible - have fun! The soup is quite good after 2 hours, but the longer it cooks, the more mellow the flavor will be. If you can, leave it for as many as 6 hours (this is a good recipe when you're in the house all day). Serve with croutons or soup nuts, if desired.

This is a quick and interesting recipe to prepare posole for unexpected guests or to take to a potluck party. My husband loves it. I have played around with this recipe A LOT. You can use 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen corn instead of hominy, or delete the chilies or olives. I prepare mine depending on whether children are going to eat it or not.

Quick, easy and just a little bit spicy!! A great garnish for this soup is homemade fresh tomato salsa. If you do not all ready have a recipe just combine 2 diced tomatoes, 1/3 cup green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, 1 teaspoon lime juice or red wine vinegar and salt to taste. Top soup with fresh cilantro and salsa and you will love the flavor.

Easy to make, great anytime, and always a favorite.
