1 Measure and prepare all of the ingredients before beginning so they are ready to add in sequence.

2 Pour the olive oil into a stockpot and warm it over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, then sauté for about 5 minutes, until they have softened.

3 Sprinkle the chili powder and dried oregano over the softened onion and garlic. Stir until the seasonings are evenly distributed.

4 Pour in the crushed tomatoes, condensed chicken broth, and water. Stir the mixture, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

5 Add the black beans, cooked chicken pieces, corn, hominy, chopped green chile peppers, and cilantro. Stir well and continue simmering for 10 minutes so everything is heated through.

6 Divide the hot soup among individual bowls. Finish each serving with crushed tortilla chips, avocado slices, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped green onions.
