Chicken and Hominy Soup

This hearty chicken and hominy soup is a brilliant choice for a nutritious, dairy-free dinner that doesn't compromise on depth of flavour. By using a shop-bought roast chicken and canned hominy, you can create a thick, comforting consistency that feels remarkably indulgent while remaining light and healthy. The combination of smoked paprika and cumin provides a subtle warmth that perfectly complements the bright, citrusy notes of fresh coriander.

Ideal for busy weeknights, this one-pot recipe relies on cupboard staples and simple preparation techniques to deliver a satisfying meal in less than thirty minutes. The puréed hominy acts as a natural thickener, making it an excellent gluten-free alternative to traditional flour-based soups. Serve it in deep bowls with a extra squeeze of lime for a vibrant, wholesome lunch or dinner.
