1. Dice (but not too small) red, yellow, and orange bell peppers.
2. Dice 1 to 2 red onions, depending on size and how much you like onions.
3. Saute peppers and onions until tender in a large soup pot.
4. Barbecue, bake, or saute chicken breasts or thighs until done.
5. Chop into bite-size pieces.
6. Slice 4 to 6 Aidell Green Chile and Habanero sausages in half, lengthwise.
7. Grill or pan saute, to bring out the flavor.
8. Cut into bite-size chunks.
9. Add chunks of chicken and sausages to sauteed veggies.
10. Add 2 large cans of Las Palmas Green Enchilada sauce or whatever brand you prefer.
11. Add 1 large box or can of chicken broth.
12. (I always try to use the reduced sodium & fat variety.)
13. Drain and rinse 1 large can of hominy; add to the soup pot.
14. Drain and rinse 2 to 3 cans of black beans or a combination of beans (pinto, black, pinquitoes, etc.)
15. Add to soup pot.
16. Drain and rinse a small can of sliced olives; add to pot.
17. Saute fresh corn kernels for 1 minute or Drain and rinse a small can of Crisp type corn; add to pot.
18. At this point, I usually add an additional can of diced green chiles and adjust the spiciness (up to hot).
19. Simmer for 20 minutes or so.
20. Don't overcook or the peppers and onions will get too soft!
21. Ladle soup into large bowls and top with chopped cilantro, crushed tortilla chips and grated cheese.
