Instructions

  1. Heat a heavy bottom pan over medium heat. With exhaust fan on, toast the chilies in a dry pan until they have softened and become fragrant. Allow to cool slightly before carefully removing seeds. 
  2. While your chilis toast and cool, roughly chop one of your onions and add to a small pot along with garlic cloves, cumin, chili powder, sugar, salt, and oregano.
  3. Add your deseeded chilis and enough water to cover the contents of the pot.
  4. Place on high heat to bring to a boil. Once boiling, drop to a simmer, and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes or until all ingredients are easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Once ingredients are fork tender add 1 cup of ice or allow to cool slightly before blending with a immersion blender or large blender.
  6. Using your hands, roughly tear your mushrooms into thin strips to resemble a shredded meat and set aside.
  7. Using a food processor or a knife roughly chop your celery, carrot, and half of your other onion into small pieces.

  9. Carefully adding blended chili mixture, 2-4 cups of water, chickpeas, and hominy. Bring to a boil and drop to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  10. While the soup simmers, thinly slice cabbage and radish, dice your leftover half an onion into small pieces and roughly chop your cilantro leaves and stems.
  11. Serve immediately topping with, shredded cabbage, radish, onion, and cilantro and serve with a lime wedge.
