CHICKEN POSOLE
This Mexican-style soup is an entire meal. It will keep in the freezer for up to three months. You can make this soup with any pre-cooked chicken or turkey. We used store-bought rotisserie chickens, but leftover Thanksgiving turkey will work just as well. When reheating, the hominy may pop in the microwave, so the soup should be thawed overnight in the refrigerator, then reheated over low heat on the stove.
