Instructions
Put the green sauce ingredients into a blender: 1/2 peeled onion, tomatillo powder, poblano powder, 1 de-stemmed and rinsed jalapeno, 2 peeled garlic cloves, and cilantro.
Combine well.
Heat up a little oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the mixture from the blender and cook for a few minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.
Add the fennel to the green sauce along with the final ingredients: stock, Mexican oregano, pinch of cumin, salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper.
Bring this mixture to a low simmer for 30 minutes until the fennel is soft. Let the soup cool completely, then blend and re-heat. Taste now, and adjust seasoning. Add the hominy (drained and rinsed) and stir well and simmer for another 15 minutes on a really low heat.
