Pozole Verde Soup

This recipe is a part of a holiday recipe roundup collaboration hosted by me, Natasha of @asiliglamcooks. For this week we are focusing on the best fall slow cooker meals. I hope you’ll enjoy this guest post below!

Hi, it’s Robin again from CollardsAreTheOldKale.com with another great fall soup recipe.

When Africans first arrived in the Americas it was from Native Americans that they adopted corn as one of their New World staples. Pozole, a pork based bone broth, is a Mexican soup featuring hominy made from dried corn. This lovely soup is traditionally served on Christmas Day garnished with cilantro, chopped green onions and served with lime wedges.

You can find this recipe and many more on my blog at CollardsAreTheOldKale.com. !Buen Provecho!

Thaw the pork in the refrigerator overnight.

Once thawed you must cook the meat right away.

Tasting as you go ensures a great outcome - just don’t double dip!
