Easy Chicken Posole

This is a super easy and tasty recipe you can whip up in 20 minutes! You can use the meat from a standard rotisserie chicken for this soup. I got mine at Costco. I can buy canned tomatillos in the Mexican section of my local grocery store...but if you don't see them stop by any Mexican mercado. They taste great in soup and are a lot easier than buying and peeling fresh tomatillos. These two shortcuts make this a very easy dish...and it still tastes great!
