  1. Cook the ancho and guajillo peppers in a heated pan for 2 to 3 minutes (flip occasionally). Set the peppers in a bowl of very hot water, cover the bowl, and let the peppers sit for 20 minutes.
  2. Put the peppers, tomato paste, and some of the water the peppers soaked in, and a little salt into a food processor. Blend until smooth, then set the mixture aside.
  3. Heat a large pot to medium heat and add the olive oil. Chop the chicken into small pieces and season them with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Add the chicken to the pot and sear on each side.
  4. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook them for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add chicken broth, bay leaf, oregano, thyme, cumin, and hominy. Stir, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Swirl the blended pepper mixture into the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. Add the lime juice.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve garnished as desired.
