In a medium soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Stir in chili powder, oregano, tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in corn, hominy, chiles, beans and chicken. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add cilantro just before serving. Once soup is in bowls, feel free to top with the optional ingredients as you see fit!
