Ingredients:
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 tomatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks, or one 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 jalapeƱos, seeded and thinly sliced, or hot sauce to taste
1 15.5-ounce can hominy, drained
1 pound fresh or frozen medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
1 lime, quartered
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and refrigerate. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the pepper, and the remaining salt and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the jalapeƱos or hot sauce and hominy and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer until pink and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with a spoonful of the cumin cream, and sprinkle with the cilantro (if using). Serve the lime on the side.Tip: Hominy, sometimes called posole, refers to corn kernels minus the outer hull and the germ. You can find it with the other canned vegetables or south-of-the-border ingredients at most supermarkets.
