A traditional Mexican soup made with hominy and meat.

Rinse the dried hominy under cold water and soak it in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

Prepare the Hominy

In a large pot, add the diced pork shoulder and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender.

Cook the Meat

Once the meat is tender, add the soaked hominy, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to combine.

Add Ingredients

Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the hominy is soft and the flavors meld together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer the Soup

Ladle the posole into bowls and serve hot, garnished with toppings such as radishes, cabbage, lime, and cilantro if desired.
