Need a bit of spice in your week? This soup inspired by Mexican Menudo, is sure to fire you up and keep the winter chills at bay! Real Menudo uses ‘hominy’ which is type of alkalised white corn, and makes the soup heartier and better for a post-workout meal, it’s sometimes available where you buy Mexican grocery items. However substituting chickpeas (or any firm beans) and corn will give similar texture, and will be fine to eat anytime.
