Stockpot
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large poblano pepper seeds removed and diced small
- ½ of 1 extra-large white onion peeled and diced small
- 6 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
- 2 to 3 teaspoons cumin start with 2 and add more to taste later, if desired
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano regular dried oregano may be substituted
- two 15.5-ounce cans red kidney beans drained and rinsed
- two 15.5-ounce cans white hominy drained and rinsed
- 2 + teaspoons kosher salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- ¼ cup lime juice or to taste
- 1 + cup low-sodium vegetable broth optional or more if desired
- ¼ to ⅓ cup fresh cilantro finely minced; or to taste plus more for garnishing if desired
- radishes sliced thin for garnishing

Instructions
- Blender - To a large canister of a high-speed blender, add all ingredients, and blend on high power until smooth, about 30 seconds; set aside.
- Stockpot - Add the olive oil, poblano, onion, and saute over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, or until vegetables have softened; stir intermittently.
- Add the garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, stirring nearly continuously.
- Add the blender canister mixture to the stockpot and stir to combine.
- Add the beans, hominy, salt, pepper, lime juice, stir, and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until hot. Optionally, if you prefer a more brothy pozole, add an additional 1 cup vegetable broth, or more if desired.
- Add the cilantro, stir to combine, and taste the pozole. As necessary, add additional salt, pepper, or spices. I added about 3 heaping teaspoons kosher salt in total. Tip - If your pozole tastes at all flat or bland, it likely needs more salt.
- Garnish with radishes and optionally with cotija, avocado, additional cilantro, or your favorite pozole garnishes. Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
