TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP
This simplified scratch-made soup is a spicy (but not too spicy) step beyond basic chicken soup. Made with chili powder, cumin, green chiles, corn and tomatoes, there's plenty of flavor to go around. Add rice toward the end of cooking to keep the texture just right, and when it's good and hot, serve with crunchy tortilla chips and a helping of shredded Mexican cheese blend for a hearty, satisfying meal in a bowl.

Steps:
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a small bowl. Run the back of your knife down the cobs to scrape any corn milk into the bowl (it will help thicken the soup). Set aside.

Add the poblano, onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are browned in spots, about 6 minutes. Add the corn kernels and their milk. Stir in the chili powder and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, 3 cups water, the tomatoes, hominy, chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is slightly reduced and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
