Gently boil chicken until cooked through, about an hour. Strain out chicken broth and set aside for use in the soup. When chicken is cooled, pick meat from bones and set aside. Put about 6 cups of the broth in a large pot (or more if you want to use up all the broth you made). Add canned tomatoes, chopped zucchini, yellow squash, hominy if using, chopped carrots, chopped cilantro, and a few rounds of sliced jalapeno if you like your soup with a kick. Gently bring to a boil and cook veggies through. Season with cumin, epizote seasoning, fresh ground pepper and more salt to taste. When veggies are cooked through, add back in the reserved chicken. Stir and adjust seasonings to suit your taste. Serve with fresh avocado, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos and lime wedges!
