Chicken Posole Verde Soup

One of my favorite casual restaurants in Las Vegas is Chino Latino in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. They have the best Chicken Posole Verde that I tried to duplicate at home. Serve garnished with cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges.

Step: 1

Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker; cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 4 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step: 2

Shred chicken in a large pot; add cumin, black pepper, adobo seasoning, and lime juice and mix well.

Step: 3

Place tomatillos and serrano peppers in a clear microwave-safe bag. Seal bag and pierce a few times with a knife to vent. Microwave until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.

Step: 4

Put softened tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt in a blender and blend until salsa verde is smooth.

Step: 5

Mix chicken stock and hominy with shredded chicken in the large pot. Add half of the salsa verde to the shredded chicken.

Step: 6

Simmer over medium heat until flavors are well-mixed, about 30 minutes.

The word “stew” can process to 2 time a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid .

When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those soft and chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
