I found this today in the current edition of USA Weekend . I'm intrigued because it starts with cooked chicken meat and canned broth. If you don't care for hominy you can substitute white beans. This looks like perfect fare for the upcoming Superbowl! From Pam Anderson's Cook Smart column. Ingredients:
