YUM! I really really like this! However I made a few SUBSTANTIAL changes: I added beans instead of hominy. Hominy doesn't exist in the Northeast - at least that I could find - so I used beans. I used two approx. 1.5 cups of kidney beans and then used black beans. I was originally going to add only another 1/2 cup of black beans but then I changed my whole approach (which I'll get into) so I opted for the whole can (14 oz?). 2. I let this cook a LOT longer than recommened - approx. 2 or more hours. It was very "stew-like" when cooked in the way recommended which they admitted from the start but I decided that I really wanted thick chili not stew. It worked awesome! I think the starch from the beans had a lot to do with that so keep that in mind. Anyway my version rocked. I can't vouch for the recipe in its orignial form except to say that it smelled good from the moment I got it in the pan. One last thing - it's definitiely on the spicy side. My sensitve boyfriend couldn't eat it. I like spice and I could but my nose did run a bit. Modify the chili powder as you see fit.
I live in the Northeast and have never had a problem finding hominy. I always find it in the canned vegetable section near the corn. I love this recipe. I used chicken instead of turkey (that's what I had on hand). So yum.
I REALLY liked this recipe. Hominy can be found in the Hispanic section of our grocery stores and it really makes this dish superb! I added some tabasco for a bit more kick. Family loved it and it was a great way to use those turkey leftovers I had frozen since November! Thanks for the recipe!
this was pretty good needed less chili powder.
All the time I was cooking this I thought I was going to hate it. I don't care for tomatoe based soups and I don't like peppers. I tasted it while the tomatoes were simmering and thought it was terrible. But when I added the turkey and cilantro there was a magic transformation. Suddenly it was delicious. I will make this many times. I used smoked turkey because it was what I had and I think that made it better. I was skeptical about the amount of chili but it was not too much at all. This is an excellent recipe that I will pass on to others
Very good. Fast & Easy with ingreidents on hand. Doubled the hominy and the chicken broth. Used 2 heaping tbls of chili powder. Young kids and adults alike loved this. Will make again. TIP Freeze leftover turkey (chopped) in 3-4 cup freezer bags. Makes putting this soup together - fast & easy!
good and simple only thing I changed was I used fresh tomato instead of canned and black beans instead of hominy which I'll look for and use next time. thanks for a great recipe
This is the frickin bomb! I used green onions instead a 1 small yellow bell pepper 4 cups of chicken broth doubled the hominy and omitted the salt and pepper. I am a salty girl and I can honestly say adding it at the end would have been too much even for me. It was spicy enough too so no pepper either. I followed the cooking directions to a "t". Dude yum!
No hominy in the north?! What a terrible situation! Although we have plenty of hominy here in Texas I had a can of creamed corn on hand and didn't feel like going to the store. It worked great! Also I added a little bit of Cumin which gave it more of a smokey chili flavor. If you really like heat drop a whole pickeled jalapeno in the stew while it simmers. Great recipe!
