Cover and cook until chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from broth and let cool enough to remove skin, bone and shred meat with two forks. Add tomatoes, Hatch Chile, hominy (if using canned) and spices. Add shredded chicken and bacon to the soup and simmer for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro if you wish and serve with flour tortillas.
