Chicken Posole Verde Soup
Valerie
"One of my favorite casual restaurants in Las Vegas is Chino Latino in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. They have the best Chicken Posole Verde that I tried to duplicate at home. Serve garnished with cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges."

Ready In
- Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker; cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Shred chicken in a large pot; add cumin, black pepper, adobo seasoning, and lime juice and mix well.
- Place tomatillos and serrano peppers in a clear microwave-safe bag. Seal bag and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Put softened tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender and blend until salsa verde is smooth.
- Mix chicken stock and hominy with shredded chicken in the large pot. Add half of the salsa verde to the shredded chicken.
- Simmer over medium heat until flavors are well-mixed, about 30 minutes.

Made as written and this was pretty good. There are two things I do want to address with this recipe. First is that I feel the chicken/hominy ratio is off. I suggest adding another can of hominy...

Really good! I did not add salt, reduced the number of sorranos to one just because I don't do well with heat and boiled the chicken instead of crockpotting it. The next time I make it....may tr...

I made this dish last night. My husband goes bananas for it, and I am surprised by how good it is. I added blue corn chips, non fat sour cream, and cubed avocados as garnish. Yum!

One of my favorite soups, I couldn't find any fresh tomatillas at the grocery store, so I substituted a jar of roasted Verde salsa, it just added more delicious flavor.

I'd say next time I'd add all the salsa, half the chicken an extra can of hominy and 1 or 2 less tomatillos but other than that it was DELICIOUS.. Thanks for sharing recipe.
