For the soup:
4 stalks celery, diced

1 white onion, diced

1 bunch cilantro
8 tomatillos, cut into quarters
2 green heirloom tomatoes
6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 jalapeno
3-4 limes, juiced

For the soup:
Sauté your mirepoix (celery, carrots, onions) in a large pot with olive oil, about 5 minutes. Add your chicken stock and bring to a boil, then turn heat down to medium and let it cook until all veggies are soft, about 8-10 mins.
Add your chicken, can of hominy, and let everything simmer for an additional 20 mins. Right before you are ready to serve stir in your tomatillo salsa. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish will sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime.
