2. Saute onion, celery, garlic and chicken in oil until onion is transparent.

3. Stir in chili powder, oregano and ground cumin into sauteed mixture.

4. Add canned tomatoes, V-8 juice and one box of reduced salt chicken broth. Simmer for about 30-45 minutes.

5. Then add corn, hominy, black beans, green chilies and cilantro.

6. NOTE: If you think it is too thick, just add some extra water and toss in a chicken bouillon cube.

7. Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes.

8. Serve with Tortilla Strips and your choice of avocado slices, sour cream, chopped green onion, jalapenos and a side of corn bread.
