Make Ahead Sunday: Quick White Chicken Chili

If you've never tried hominy before it's surprisingly good.  It adds a great texture to this soup and also acts as natural thickener.

• 2 cups rottiserie chicken or poached chicken breast (shredded or cubed)
• sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oile
• 1 medium jalapeno chile, finely chopped
• 3 anaheim chilies, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 14 oz can white hominy
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)
• 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
• avocado, sliced to garnish

Heat olive oil in large sauce pan.  Add onion, garlic and pepper.  Saute until tender (~7 minutes).  Add chicken, broth and hominy.  Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.  Add lime juice and cilantro then season with salt and pepper.  Serve in bowls and garnish with avocado.
