Pozole…The Perfect Fall Recipe
There are so many great cooks in my family, and I do not pretend to be one of them. It’s not that I don’t like cooking, it’s just that my husband loves it so much, I just let him take over. I hope to share some of his best recipes in the future.
For now, I am sharing my friend Diane’s recipe for Pozole. She gave me this recipe years ago, and it continues to be a family favorite. I hope you enjoy it!

HI there! Going to try this today…looks good and easy. Quick question…do you drain hominy first before adding in to pot. I make a taco soup that you dump all cans in without draining. Just want to make sure. thank you!
Monica,
Sorry I am just now seeing this message! I don’t know how it slipped by. I have made the pozoli both ways, but I usually drain the hominy. Most of the time, hominy doesn’t have a lot of juice anyway, so it doesn’t matter a whole lot. I hope you enjoyed the soup!
Hello!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I am always looking for great easy recipes to make for my family. I tryed this and wow it was amazing. Super easy to make!! Something different. Everyone really enjoyed this soup. Thank you again!!!
Linsey,
So happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. 🙂
This sounds so good.
I use a similar recipe but mine includes:
1.)A small can of diced green chilies.
2.)And a can of chipotle’s in adobo sauce.
This makes the broth so rich and adds warmth but not really heat!
I’m stealing your idea to use both pork and chicken! I usually just use chicken. What cut of pork do you recommend?
Sounds yummy! I use ham.
