1
Remove the meat from your rotisserie chicken.
2
This is optional, but advisable. Place the chicken carcass in a crockpot and submerge in water. Cook overnight on high, then strain. This makes a nice, simple chicken stock that you can use instead of the 5 cups water.
3
Dice onion. Sautee onion until tender in a sauce pot. You'll need at least 5 cups of capacity here to finish the soup.
4
Combine flour and spices. This mix will form the flavor and body of your soup.
5
Stir the flour and spice mix into the sauteed onion. Toast gently for a few minutes to activate those spices and cook out toast up the flour.
6
Add the tomato paste and stir over heat for a couple of minutes.
7
Stir in the 5 cups of broth or water.
8
Add the hominy.
9
Simmer for twenty minutes.

The soup is great, but I love the garnishes. I serve this with cilantro, shredded cabbage, lime wedges, and oregano. Maybe some chicharones if you're feeling crazy.
