How to Make 20 Minute Posole

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Cook, covered, for 5 minutes, until onions are tender.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of hominy, drained; 1-2 canned chopped green chiles (depending on spice preference), and 1/2 cup chopped green olives.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Add 1.5 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced. (You can use rotisserie chicken for extra speed!)
  6. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until chicken is heated through and flavors have melded.
  7. Garnish with your favorite toppings! Suggestions include shredded lettuce, diced radishes, sour cream, and/or shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
