Nana's Pozole Mexican Soup
Description
Nana's Pozole Mexican Soup features large chunks of pork shoulder simmered with bay leaf, salt, and garlic in water until the meat becomes tender enough to shred. The rich broth is combined with a red chili sauce and spice blend including red chili powder and cumin to provide a robust flavor profile. Hominy is added near the end of cooking to soften while retaining a slight chewiness. The soup balances the heartiness of pork with the distinct bite of hominy and layered chili flavors. Common garnishes include diced onion, radish slices, shredded cabbage, Mexican oregano, and lemon or lime wedges, which add brightness and texture to the dish.
