directions
- Put chile peppers in a small bowl; cover with boiling water, and let stand while you chop other vegetables.
- In small saucepan, bring TVP and 1 1/2 cups of broth to a boil; turn off heat and let TVP soak up liquid while prepping other veggies.
- Saute onions 5-7 minutes, then add garlic and bell pepper. Continue to saute until onions are soft (another 5-7 minutes).
- While onions saute, transfer chiles and soaking liquid to a blender; blend until smooth.
- When onions are soft, add hominy, tomatoes, blended chiles, 2 1/2 cups broth, TVP, oregano, cumin, coriander, and salt.
- Simmer over medium heat 30 minutes to let flavors blend. (Can simmer longer if needed. Add extra broth or water if you like a thinner stew.).
- Stir in OJ and serve garnished with chopped green onions, radishes, cilantro, avocado, shredded lettuce, and/or hot sauce.

Great recipe! It's very easy and makes an excellent soup!! I'm always glad to find a veggie recipe that's hearty with lots of flavor. I followed this recipe pretty closely except I used a couple types of chili powder instead of chillies...and added some extra oregano. I'll make this again.

Just another cook trying to come up with creative ideas for the bounty of her garden... mostly vegetarian with some fish-n-seafood leanings to keep the rest of her family satisfied.
