Pork and green chile posole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew that is made with hominy, pork, and green chiles. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. There are many different variations of posole, but the basic ingredients are always the same. Hominy is a type of dried corn that is made by soaking and cooking the kernels in an alkaline solution. This process gives the hominy a unique flavor and texture. Pork is the most common meat used in posole, but you can also use chicken or beef. Green chiles add a spicy kick to the soup, but you can adjust the amount of heat by using different types of chiles or by removing the seeds.

PORK GREEN CHILE
A simple and, in my opinion, authentic version, this recipe comes down at least 3 or 4 generations of my family. You will know it's done when the sauce has a medium thickness. Remember, the longer it cooks, the better it will taste. You can serve smothered over burritos or with warm tortillas, beans and/or fried potatoes. Also delicious with fried eggs (Huevos rancheros). Substitute 4 or 5 chopped roasted chiles for green chiles and jalapenos if you prefer.

POSOLE WITH CHICKEN & PORK
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.
