This soup is a good starting point, but I would make a few changes. I would add more spices to the broth and I would also use a different type of hominy.

I'm not a fan of pozole soup, but I tried this recipe anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. The soup was very flavorful and the hominy was cooked perfectly.

This soup is way too spicy for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual chicken noodle soup.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I love the smoky flavor that the guajillo and ancho chiles give to this soup. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.
