part two
While water is not yet boiling and peppers are roasting - dice up 3-4 garlic cloves (depending on need and taste)-dump it in the pot-add salt, pepper, little cayenne and oregano (slight) too taste/smell) (repeat spices if necessary)
Stir whenever you want-once it boils turn it down to simmer
Open and drain (with a little rinse) 3-5 medium cans of golden and white hominy (I tried making it from dry hominy and it just never acted or tasted right) I like mine thick (thus 5 cans or two BIG and one reg)
Dice 2-3 large tomatoes OR for the "I'm about to get sick" lazy girl, get a large can (or two reg) of diced tomatoes -no flavor, not crushed, no paste-just diced tomatoes -there's an organic version I see around a bunch that's really yummy fresh, etc.
Dump hominy in the pot
(put a little olive oil on your hands first if you don't want to absorb hot pepper oil into your tender little hands-don't touch your eyes even if it doesn't seem spicy-learned the hard way) Peel and de-seed the peppers - slice into edible-sized strips - dump em in the pot
not all poblanos are equally spicy, it sort of varies-you can spice up some sleepers with more cayenne or a little white pepper
Add tomatoes last just let em get hot-don't stir them hard, they're tender lil guys
keep on med low heat till all ingredients are sufficiently heated up (about ten more minutes if you do it in the order above)
Dice two roma tomatoes, a large avocado and limes for garnish
To serve put soup in bowls then add fresh roma, avocado, and squeeze a lime wedge over it-stir, EAT (repeat) sometimes we crumble corn chips in at the end to eat the remaining yummy broth
It should make your nose run a bit, heat you up, make you crave lots of water and hopefully heal you of the demon cold or at least make you more comfortable : )
