Farmer's Market Summer Vegetable Soup with hominy is a great way to use all of those vegetables you just bought at the farmer's market and the roast chicken you bought at the grocery store. The addition of Larry's All Natural Ranchero Sauce brings a lot of flavor to this soup. I grew up eating hominy because my mother liked it but it is a common ingredient in the Mexican soup pozole. (If you leave the chicken out of this dish and use vegetable stock, you have a delicious vegetarian dish.)
