The base is made from hominy, or dried field corn, which can be found online if it’s not in your local supermarket. Add to that tasty tomatillos and cilantro, cumin, garlic, oregano, onion and jalapeño, and you have an entrée soup that’s filled with phytonutrients. The chicken provides plenty of protein, as well as B vitamins. Heart-healthy avocado and lime are the so-called icing on the cake…er, soup.
