Posole with Garnishes

The perfect informal supper, posole, a traditional Mexican main-course soup, is a beautiful and wonderfully satisfying one-pot meal. Canned hominy is available in supermarkets, natural foods stores, and specialty markets.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium-size yellow onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 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, or low-sodium canned
  • 2 bay leaves
  • GARNISHES
  • 8 radishes, very thinly sliced
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, very thinly sliced
  • 1 small avocado, peeled, halved, pitted, and quartered
  • 8 scallions, very thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 limes, quartered
  • Chile de arbol powder
  • 8 sprigs of fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cover and cook, stirring, until the chard is wilted and the leaves are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaves.
  4. 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.
