- 2 medium-size garlic cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- One 16-ounce can hominy, drained
- 1 small jalapeno pepper
- 1 pound tomatillos, diced (about 3 cups)
- 2 bunches Swiss chard, coarsely chopped (about 26 ounces)
- 4 cups Chicken Stock to Make 1 1/2 Quarts, or low-sodium canned
- 2 bay leaves
Garnishes
- 8 radishes, very thinly sliced

- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 limes, quartered

Directions
-
Heat the oil in a large pot. Add the onion and garlic, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the cumin and salt and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the hominy, jalapeno, and tomatillos and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the Swiss chard, stock, and bay leaves and bring to a boil.
-
Cover and cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and the leaves are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
-
Ladle the soup into 4 bowls and garnish each serving with radishes, jalapenos, avocado, scallions, sour cream, and 2 lime wedges. Sprinkle with chile de arbol powder and top with the chopped cilantro sprigs.
Very, very tasty and easy to make. Not sure if my tomatillos were a little bitter so I ended up adding a touch of honey to balance the flavor. This is also great topped with finely shredded raw cabbage.
