INSTRUCTIONS

GARNISHES
This soup recipe was gifted to me by a very good friend. She is an
excellent cook and this soup should have won a soup making contest that she
and I were both in, it came in second.
1. In a large skillet, saute the chicken in oil until brown on all sides;
remove to a platter and set aside.
2. Saute garlic and onion in the drippings. Return chicken to pan. Pour in
stock and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low.
3. Mix masa harina with the cold water and add to the chicken. Add the
chili powder, sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer 50
minutes. Add white and yellow hominy and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Skim fat from surface and taste for seasoning. (Posole can be made in
advance up to this point, then refrigerated. Remove risen fat from the
surface before reheating.)
Garnish as you please, remembering that with Posole, the garnish is as
important as the soup.
