Ingredients
- 1 ounce bag dried Guajillo chilis
- 2 pods dried ancho chilis
- 2 medium yellow onions, cut in half
- 3 pounds chicken bone in, skin on (wings, thighs, breasts and/or legs)
- 1 head of garlic
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems
- 1 tablespoon Kosher or sea salt
- 2 ounce cans hominy, rinsed and drained
- olive oil
- Serve with: tostadas, sliced radish, chopped cilantro, diced onions lime wedges, Mexican crema and/or sour cream
Instructions
- Place the chiles in a small pot of water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until chilis are softened.
- Allow the chilis to cool to the touch and remove the seeds and stems with a sharp knife.
- Place the chilis and 1/2 cup water from the pot into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Place the chicken in a large stock pot with a the halved onions, garlic (unpeeled), bay leaves and 1 cup cilantro (stems and leaves). Cover with cool water. Cover with lid, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 35-40 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, cover the bottom with a thin layer of olive oil and warm for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the chili puree and cook for 8 minutes or until it reduces and becomes darker in color and thickens.
- Remove the chicken, cilantro, onion and bay leaf from the pot. Cool the chicken, remove the skin, bones, shred the chicken and add the meat back into the soup.
- While the chicken is cooling, pour the chili puree, hominy and salt into the soup and simmer uncovered for 30-45 minutes. The longer you simmer, the thicker is will become.
