Chicken Posole - Gluten Free

I'm hoping that by posting this recipe for Chicken Posole, it will bring the fall weather I'm longing for.  This is a loved recipe by the family and those I have served it to.  It is such a delicious, easy and comforting dish, and also very healthy and low in calories (it was handed down to me from my Mom who got it from Weight Watchers).  I love the chewy bites of the hominy in this soup, and the richness of the broth.  I always serve it with Brazilian Cheese Bread, which is naturally gluten free and a great side to go with this tasty soup.  I guess it is traditional to top it with some chopped radishes, but radishes are not my thing, so I omit that.  If they are your thing, though, give it a try!
