Posole is a traditional Mexican soup that features canned hominy. Hominy is made from corn, has a texture reminiscent of chickpeas, can be found in the ethnic section of some supermarkets, and adds delicious flavour to this stew. We made it with ground poultry, a variety of seasonings, and garnished it with cheese, scallions, and radishes (but posole is very variable). Pass some hot sauce and fresh lime wedges at the table for serving. If you like your posole on the spicier side, add some more canned chipotle in adobo sauce.
