Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
8 mins

Add the chicken, onion, chipotle peppers, and garlic. Season with garlic salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned and the onion is softened. (5-8 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Stir in the enchilada sauce, hominy, diced tomatoes, black beans, and chicken broth. Season with chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. (2 minutes)

04

Step
40 mins

Bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 40 minutes, or up to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (40-60 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh cilantro. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or a squeeze of lime.

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or stock.
Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers and cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
Feel free to add other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or zucchini to the soup.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
