1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 white onion, diced
4 poblano peppers, seeded and diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
5 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
Two 14-ounce cans hominy, drained
2 limes, cut into segments
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2. Add the oregano, cumin, coriander, bay leaf, salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.

3. Add the broth and bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Cover the pot and continue to simmer until the broth is flavorful, 30 to 40 minutes.
