Mexican Beef And Hominy Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, chipotle peppers, garlic, and garlic salt; cook and stir until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir enchilada sauce, hominy, tomatoes, black beans, and water into the pot. Season with chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. Cover and simmer until flavors combine, about 40 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• In a covered 8- to 10-quart pan over high heat, bring beef, onion, garlic, and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover and cook over high heat, stirring often, until juices have evaporated and meat is browned, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Add chili powder (use larger amount for spicier flavor) and cumin; stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add broth and tomatoes, including juice. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until meat is almost tender to bite, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, slice peel off squash and cut flesh into 3/4-inch cubes. Rinse celery and slice diagonally 1/4 inch thick.
• Add squash, celery, and green chilies; cover and return to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until squash and beef are tender when pierced, about 15 minutes longer. Stir in hominy and return to a boil. Skim and discard fat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve soup from pan, or pour into a tureen. Put sour cream and cilantro in bowls and offer to add to taste.

Steps:

• Saute the meat, celery, garlic, and onions in oil until onions are slightly soft.
• Add the chiles, tomato sauce, celery salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add drained hominy to the meat mixture and cook until hominy absorbs the color of the sauce.
• Place in serving bowl and top with grated cheddar.
• Makes 6 to 8 servings.
