Rather like menudo without the tripe. Spicy and warm. Perfect for a winter day. Good for those who find traditional chicken soup too prosaic and bland. If you can't find posole, which is also called hominy, feel free to substitute frozen corn kernels. Ingredients:

3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon chili powder |

2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans posole, drained (mix yellow and white) |
1 (15 ounce) can whole canned tomatoes, roughly chopped |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs |
