Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup baby carrots, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- One 4-ounce jar sliced pimiento peppers, drained
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 quart (4 cups) low-sodium chicken stock
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (white or dark meat, depending on your preference)
- One 15.5-ounce can white hominy, drained
- One 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
- 2 limes, 1 halved and 1 cut into wedges
- 1 cup shredded napa cabbage
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves picked
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced radishes
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Hot sauce, as needed
Instructions
- Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the carrots, oregano, scallions and garlic and cook until softened. Stir in the pimientos, salt, cumin, chili powder and red chile flakes. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and fry until the color deepens, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, shredded chicken, hominy and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and juice the halved lime into the soup. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- To serve, add some of the shredded cabbage to the bottom of a soup bowl and ladle over the hot soup. Garnish the top with cilantro, radish, avocado, sour cream and hot sauce. Serve with limes wedges on the side.

Reviews
The flavors of this soup are amazing, especially considering how quickly it comes together. I will make this again but add only a teaspoon at most. I think if she had called this Tex – Mex soup, some people wouldn’t be losing their minds. We all thought it was delicious. Served with flour tortillas and fixings on the side.
This is an easy and delicious recipe! It’s flavors are wonderful and fresh! It’s pretty,too! I travel to Mexico often so I’m somewhat familiar with Mexican food. Love that I can make this quick and delicious recipe at home!
Obviously it’s not even intending to be an authentic recipe. And I think that’s fine. It’s intending to be a quick recipe. Recipes can be changed. Cultures have been mixing and changing recipes forever. Food Network also has one that indicates is authentic.
This may not be truly authentic, but it is a delicious, easy meal that we loved and will make again
This is not authentic but still delicious and I will make again.
This is so delicious & a quick way to get that pozole fix without spending hours in the kitchen! Have to laugh at the negative comments here. Obviously this isn’t authentic, but it’s dang good & so flavorful! My family loves it and requests it often. Good way to get a ton of veggies in.
Horrible representation of Pozole!! What a joke! Just as bad or even more so than Rachel Rays Pozole
This is NOT pozole! What an insult to the delicious & ancient Mexican recipe! What she made was a quick, tomato-y soup with hominy and she should have called it something other than pozole! Pozole doesn’t even have tomatoes, the reason for its red color is the dried roasted chiles that are used! Maybe she should have invited a Mexican cook to her show to teach her how to make it! And please STOP adulterating our much loved traditional Mexican recipes!
Absolutely delicious! My husband prefers this over chicken chili and his mother’s homemade chicken soup (which was his favorite before I made him this recipe). I double the recipe every time I make this, and I use a sweet yellow onion instead of scallions. Other than that, it’s all Ree’s recipe and it’s phenomenal!
Only thing I changed was I used half the salt for my husband. We thought it was fab!!!!
