Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped white onion
1 large fresh Anaheim chili,* stemmed, seeded, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 dried New Mexico chili,** stemmed, seeded, torn into small pieces
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
4 cups low-salt chicken broth
1 14- to 15-ounce can golden hominy, drained

1/3 cup finely crushed tostadas caseras or corn chips
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Stir 2 minutes longer. Add broth, hominy, tomatoes with juices, and tostadas caseras. Bring soup to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until dried chili is very soft and flavors blend, about 45 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper, then lime juice to taste.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and it gave the soup a nice kick. I also added a bit of cumin and oregano to taste. It was the perfect meal for a cold winter night.
