    Chicken Pozole Soup

    5
    By Alisa Fleming on April 5, 2016 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees, Soup

    So many traditional dishes are naturally dairy-free, like chicken pozole soup. Sure, some may top it with cheese, but far better garnishes include chilies, cilantro, lime or even avocado.

    Chicken Pozole

    Pozole is a Mexican stew that’s enriched with hominy, coarsely ground corn used for making grits, and usually features pork. It’s often featured at celebrations, but we think chicken pozole makes a great, nourishing weeknight meal.

    Serves: 4 servings
    Ingredients
    • 3 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil
    • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
    • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
    • ½ 14.5-ounce can chopped tomatoes
    • 1 7-ounce can salsa verde
    • 1 4.5-ounce can chopped green chilies
    • 2 15-ounce cans hominy, drained
    • 2 14-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth
    • Kosher salt, to taste
    • Cracked black pepper, to taste
    • 1½ cups shredded chicken (from a cooked dairy-free rotisserie chicken)
    Optional Garnishes
    • 1 red onion, finely chopped
    • 1 lime, cut into wedges
    • ½ cup dairy-free sour cream
    • Crushed tortilla chips
    • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
    • Thinly sliced radishes
    • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
    Instructions
    1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
    2. Add the garlic and saute for 3 to 4 more minutes.
    3. Add the coriander, cumin, and oregano and cook until slightly darkened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
    4. Add the chopped tomatoes, salsa verde, green chilies and cook until it just comes to a boil, about 2 minutes.
    5. Add the hominy and chicken broth and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    6. Add the shredded chicken and cook until heated through, 3 minutes.
    7. To serve, divide the chicken pozole among 4 bowls and garnish as desired with the optional toppings.

      Hi I wanted to know how this is “optionally” soy free. I have to avoid soy and not sure if pozole has soy or not ?.

        The recipe itself is soy-free (though I would check the ingredients of your ingredients – like the chicken broth). However, I put optional as dairy-free sour cream is an optional topping, and several brands are made with soy.

      I’ve never cooked with hominy. I’m not a fan of grits, but in soup it might have a totally different consistency. Very intriguing.

        Hi Bonnie, that would be nice! Have you tried Yummly? We are on Yummly and that is what I use to save / store recipes. Unfortunately, we do not have an internal system set up at this time. Perhaps in the future!
