Vegan Super Greens Tomatillo Posole

This lean, green soup with kale, tomatillos, cilantro and avocado is filling thanks to the hominy. The canned, puffy corn kernels are available wherever Mexican ingredients are sold. Drain and rinse the hominy well before adding it to the soup to remove excess sodium.
