Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 3 medium, peeled and diced russet potatoes
• 2 cups, drained and rinsed canned hominy
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, canned hominy, ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine the spices with the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf and use a potato masher to slightly mash some of the potatoes inside the soup. This will help thicken the consistency while still leaving chunks for texture.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.

Step 8

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with additional cilantro or a wedge of lime if desired.
