CHICKEN POSOLE SOUP

If you like spicy foods then you will like this soup. It is mostly made with a pork roast that has been cooked and shredded. But you can use the chicken thighs instead or can use chicken breast if you like.

4-6 Bone-in Chicken Thighs, skin removed
1 (32oz.)Yellow Hominy, drained
3 Cups chicken stock
2 (14.5oz.) Cans Diced Tomatoes
3 Carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
3 Green Onions, both parts, sliced thinly or regular onions
4-5 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Cumin
2 Teaspoons Chili Powder
11/2 Teaspoons Mexican Oregano
1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
1 Teaspoon Salt or to your taste
1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Optional toppings:
Chopped cilantro
Avocado
Sour cream
Tortilla chips

Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Put remaining ingredients in and stir the top to mix in spices. Cover and cook on high for 5 – 6 hours, or until chicken and carrots are cooked through and tender. Remove chicken, remove bones and shred meat with two forks. Return chicken to crock, stir to combine. Serve with toppings if you like.
