Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced chipotle chiles in adobo
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cans (15.5 ounces each) hominy, rinsed and drained
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium. Season pork with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate, and set aside (reserve pan). Place onion and garlic in pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add chiles, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, hominy, tomatoes, pork, and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of pork registers 145 degrees, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Transfer pork to a work surface, and shred with 2 forks; return to pan. Top soup with cilantro, and, if desired, serve with lime wedges.

Yield serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) low-sodium chicken broth
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) hominy, drained and rinsed
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups water
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
  • Add onion and garlic to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add chipotle chiles; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, hominy, tomatoes with their juice, pork, and the water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145°F, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove pork, and shred with two forks; return to pan, and stir to combine. To serve, ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
  • Make Ahead
  • This dish actually improves when made ahead and refrigerated. After returning shredded pork to soup, let cool completely and store up to 1 day in an airtight container; reheat gently before serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked pork or chicken instead of cooking it from scratch.
  • If you don't have hominy, you can use corn kernels instead.
  • To make the posole more flavorful, use a variety of chili peppers, such as ancho, guajillo, and pasilla.
  • If you like your posole spicy, add more chipotle peppers or chili powder.
  • Serve the posole with a variety of toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges.

Conclusion:

Chipotle pork posole is a delicious and hearty soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover pork. The combination of smoky chipotle peppers, tender pork, and hominy is sure to please everyone at the table.
