I love this soup! It has become a family favorite. Idk when it was posted but I think I’ve been using it for well over a year now. I make it just how the recipe says. If we’ve been bad with food for too many days, I make this and we eat it for a day or 2. It makes our tummy’s happy and let’s us burn off those bad calories.

This was very easy to put together. I used a couple tablespoons of white rice instead of hominy, and also added some cumin. I didn't have any avocados or jack cheese but did top with cheddar and tortilla strips. The flavor was very good but I would like a bit more heat, so next time I make it I'll probably increase the chili powder and maybe add a bit of cayenne. Reheated well the next day for lunch. Definitely a keeper, thanks for sharing!!

I made this according to directions, but doubled! I added a can of green chille enchilada sauce as well. Next time I might leave out the black beans, and use salsa instead of the tomatoes and the oinon, saving a step. This was a great soup, and it was even better the next day! Thanks for a great recipe I will make over and over!
