20 Minute Chipotle Chicken Pozole Soup-New Food To Me

I'm starting a new feature here at Pig In Mud, it's called New Foods To Me. Since I find myself often saying "I've never tried that" I started a list of items and will cross them off with each new (to me) recipe. I'll also add to the list as things come up. My goal will be at least one post a month, more if I'm feeling daring:@)

First up, hominy. Did I just hear a gasp from the south??? Yep, never had it, until I made this great 20 Minute Chipotle Chicken Pozole Soup from Bloggy Buddy Kitty. Now, this soup isn't Home Coming Queen beautiful, but there is something about this spicy treat that makes you keep going back for "just one more spoonful"... And everyone dealing with extreme temperatures and snow right now, I guarantee this will warm you up nicely!

Overall I say this soup is great, I love the chipotle broth and plan to try it with beans and lots of lime. As for hominy itself, it's ok. I wasn't wowed and didn't walk away thinking "man I can't wait to have hominy again". But it is one thing I can say I tried and cross off the list:@)

2 onions, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely chopped-I did remove all the seeds I could find
4 (15-oz.) cans hominy, drained and rinsed-I didn't have enough hominy so I added some frozen corn

S&P to taste

Toppings:-use any you'd like
