POSOLE WITH CHICKEN & PORK



Posole With Chicken & Pork image

Posole or Pozole (both spellings are correct). This is a traditional Southwestern savory stew made with a specific variety of corn , pork chicken and/or beef and green chile. It's a hearty, authentic meal, perfect for anytime. This recipe is derived from #8545, but I made so many changes I decided it was worthy of a new recipe especially since it turned out so wonderful and it's a healthier version.

  • Add onions, garlic and saute until tender.
  • Add chicken.
  • Add water and broth, stir well.
  • Place 1 tub of green chiles in blender and puree. Them add to pan.
  • Add second tub to pan.
  • Add garlic salt, cumin, Mexican oregano and menudo spice mix. I used all but about 1 tablespoon of the menudo mix. I suggest adding small amounts until it is strong enough. Stir well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn adds a lovely sweetness and texture to posole. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn is definitely the best option.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a lean protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Posole is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled cotija cheese. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or salsa for extra flavor.
  • Make it ahead of time: Posole is a great dish to make ahead of time. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the posole over medium heat until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Posole is a delicious and hearty Mexican soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give posole a try.
