3 large poblano chiles
1 serrano chile

2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed

hominy, rinsed and drained
5-6 vegetable broth
About 5 tsp dried oregano, divided
1 large zucchini, cut into large dice
Accompaniments: corn tortillas, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced green onions, and crumbled cotija cheese

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat broiler with oven rack 3 inches from heat source. Set yellow onion, poblanos, serrano. tomatillos, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning, until vegetables are browned to blackened all over, 15 to 30 minutes, moving them to a bowl as browned. Let cool. 2.Toast ancho chiles in a large pot over medium heat until fragrant, pressing down with tongs and turning occasionally, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat. 3.Peel and seed poblanos and serrano. Peel garlic. Whirl serrano, garlic, onion, tomatillos and any juices, and 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds in a food processor until very smooth, Pour into pot with whole anchos(they'll fall apart as they cook) Coarsely chop poblanos and add to pot. 4.Stir in hominy, 5 cups broth, tsp oregano and the cumin. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cumin flavor is mellow, about 45 minutes. Discard any large pieces of ancho chile. 5. Stir zucchini into posole and simmer just until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in more broth if you'd like a thinner soup. 6. Ladle posole into bowls and serve with remaining pumpkin seeds and oregano and other accompaniments to taste.

Tips:

  • Soak the hominy overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help to soften the hominy and reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the hominy overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it in water for 30 minutes, then draining it and rinsing it with cold water.
  • Use a variety of chiles to add flavor and heat to the posole. You can use fresh, dried, or canned chiles. If you're using dried chiles, be sure to rehydrate them before adding them to the soup.
  • Add other vegetables to the posole, such as corn, zucchini, or squash. This will add flavor and nutrition to the soup.
  • Serve the posole with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream.
