I made up my own pozole without hominy, since I couldn’t find an organic hominy and I wanted to add a healthier fiber. This soup is super nutritious and hearty!

.

1 organic cooked whole chicken

1 HALF gallon to 3 quarts of water?

1 cup each of diced onion, celery and carrot

2 minced cloves of garlic

1 Bay leaf

4 Black Peppercorns

Optional…organic chicken bouillon

Olive oil

1/2 sliced jalapeño pepper

1/2 can of organic corn

1/2 can of organic garbanzo beans

1/2 can of great white northern beans

1/4 head of thinly sliced green cabbage

10 thinly sliced red radishes 

Chopped parsley & cilantro

1 sliced avocado

Fresh lime

Salt & Pepper

.

I just sauté the onion, celery, carrot and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I add this mixture, 1 bay leaf, 4 peppercorns and the jalapeño to a soup pot full of about a half gallon of water.

Then I debone the chicken. I toss all the bones in the stock pot, shred the chicken and set aside. (Sometimes I add organic chicken bouillon too)

I first boil and then simmer the stock for 2 hours. 

I then remove the bones. I add the corn, garbanzo and northern beans to the stock.(These are a great source of fiber…good for healthy cholesterol levels)

Simmer on low for a bit. Salt and Pepper to taste. 

Pour a cup or two of the broth mixture into individual serving bowls. I add about a half a cup of the shredded chicken to each bowl. I top that with the cabbage. Place radish and avocado on the sides. Then sprinkle parsley and cilantro on top. Salt and pepper to taste. Then I squeeze fresh lime on top!!

Sometimes if I’m really hungry I plop 1/2 cup of brown rice in the bowl first and then add the rest of the ingredients. 

I serve it with a Grain Free SIETE Cassava Flour tortilla. 

My family and I love this soup!! Great for leftovers too!
