One of the many wonderful Christmas traditions in Mexico is chicken and hominy soup. It is also just excellent whenever you want to have something hearty and comforting. If desired, garnish with lime wedges, thinly sliced radishes, lettuce that has been shredden, finely chopped onion, and cilantro.

It was tasty! Definitely make sure one uses low sodium soup. Everything regular combined with the saltiness of the ham is just a bit much.
Made double batch for my family but we hat so much other food so not much got eaten. Took it to work and it was gone on half hour. So good! Requests for more.
Always a hit at parties. Nice substantial appetizer.
It was a fairly decent recipe….although, I agree with others, not really a dip. It was really good over mashed potatoes and ok with rye triscuts.
Made as written (I used full fat, name brand versions of the soups) but found it to be lacking some depth. I added several dashes of italian season and it helped quite a bit. However, I probably wouldn’t make this dish again — somewhat expensive for the lack of wow factor.
Great ! But use Honey Wheat Bread !Not such a bite !! Linda
This was ok if you really like swiss cheese. I thought I did until I had this dip. Next time I think I will try cheddar cheese.
We actuallly made this in the microwave and it turned out great!
Easy to make and very popular. I make this when I have parties and someone always wants the recipe.
Came out really soupy. The flavors were right, but was more like a cheddar ham soup than a dip.
Popular item at the party, went fast.
I used Virginia Ham which had perfect smokiness to compliment the swiss. The taste was good, but it was almost too creamy and soupy for my liking.
I’ve made this recipe about 4 times and get RAVE reviews every time I make it- it’s great for parties, and is so simple to put together. I use sourdough bread instead of rye, and it works out much better for my taste. The consistency gets a little different if you overcook it, but it still tastes great!
This was pretty good. It was very rich and creamy. It definitely reminded me of a ham and swiss sandwich, so if you like them you will like this dip. It was not my families favorite, but good for a change of pace. Thanks!
This stuff is ridiculously good. It is easy, fun, and a good conversation piece…if someone brings a dip based on my favorite sandwich, I’m gonna try it! It is pretty rich, but its a dip, its not supposed to be low cal. I guess you could easily substitute fat-free or reduced-fat products though, if you wanted.
This is really yummy! My guests loved it!
Hmmmm…I made this yesterday for a pool party. I came home with the entire batch. It was extremely soupy, not dip like at all. It reminded me of chipped beef gravy. I am not sure what I did wrong but I was very dissappointed. I was so looking forward to a new appetizer to put in my recipe box. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because the flavor is really good, however not as a dip. As the other reviews said; this would be good over chicken.
Everyone LOVED it!!
This dip was really good. Everyone commented on it. The only changes I made which were really slight, was to use a can of roasted garlic mushroom soup and used french bread for dipping instead of cocktail rye bread. Will make again. One note – I did not think this dish was too salty and I am not a salt user.
Very good!! Will make again. A little salty.
I made this for a church potluck and it was the star of the show! I combined all the ingredients in a saucepan first so they were warm and then put it in my little crockpot. It kept it warm all day. I served it with french bread. It is definitely a keeper. I might try it over potatoes or chicken breasts next time!
