    4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1/2 pound chorizo or andouille sausage
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced into half-moons
1 poblano pepper, seeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine (3 or 4 glugs)
1 quart chicken stock or broth
1 15-ounce can hominy
1 1/2 pounds fresh halibut, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced into half-moons
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a generous handful), chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Juice of 1 lime

Preparation

  1. Preheat a large soup pot over medium-high heat with the EVOO (twice around the pan). Remove the sausage casings and slice the sausage thinly. Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add the onions, carrots, poblanos, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the white wine and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, bring up to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. You want the soup to be at a gentle simmer before you add the fish so, if necessary, turn the heat down a little. Add the hominy, halibut, and zucchini. Gently simmer for 5 minutes. Finish the soup with the parsley, cilantro (if using), and lime juice.
