Ingredients

  1. 4 lbPork ( I use shoulder)
  2. 4 canHominy ( Juanita 25 oz can)
  3. 1 canChicken bullion ( Knorr 7.9 oz)
  4. 1 eachMenudo seasoning mix (El Mexicano 3/4 oz)
  5. 1 canChipotle peppers in Adobe sauce

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill out a large pot with water (I used approximately 2 gallons of water) and bring to a boil. Rinse pork and place in boiling water. Add the chicken bullion ( I use the whole container; you can add more or less). Cook on low-med heat until the pork is tender, making sure it's always under water.

  2. 2

    Pork should be tender when the meat begins to fall off the bone. Remove any bones or undesired fat. Add 4 cans of hominy (any desired amount) and menudo mix ( I use 1/2 bag). Simmer ingredients for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Carefully pour out the sauce (not the actual pepper) from the chipotle pepper can. Add the desired amount of spice ( a little goes a long way so beware). I add 3 sazon packets to add a bit more of flavor and give the soup a nice red color but it's not necessary.

  4. 4

    If you would like to make your own sauce instead of using chipotle sauce: bring to a boil a "bunch" of dried ancho peppers or chile de arbol (which is real spicy). Pour the chiles with some of the boiled water and blend in a blender. Pour the chile contents into a strainer (you want the sauce and not the peel or seeds). Mix with pozole.

  5. 5

    Garnish with fresh cabbage and radishes. Enjoy with chips or bread!
