Menudo image

A friend of mine who owned a Mexican Food restaurant for many years gave me his recipe for Menudo. It was one of his most popular menu items. I have tweaked it a little, adjusting spices to my taste, and have been making this for years. I get many requests for this during the holidays. It is a wonderfully rich and flavorful soup...

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I had some leftover Thanksgiving turkey and this was the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this recipe was surprisingly mild. The broth was flavorful and the hominy was cooked perfectly.

The hominy was a bit too chewy for my taste, but overall this was a good recipe.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. I had some carnitas in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.
