This is really good. It has very authentic flavor, and it's such a nice change from making turkey noodle soup with the leftover turkey carcass. I doubled the hominy because I had a 29 oz can on hand, and we love hominy anyway. Really good with shredded cabbage and lime, and I love that the recipe doesn't make a huge pot that we have to eat for days.01/22/10

Very good and flavorful soup. I make this with turkey stock and use two chipotles. I couldn't find "tomato puree" but used crushed tomatoes, which might be the same thing. Served with warm corn tortillas and a fruit salad. As with many CL recipes, my husband needs two servings (6 ft. tall and athletic!), so this recipe serves us for dinner and gives me a bowl for lunch the next day.01/08/08
