Mexican Pork Soup image

This is one of my very favorite soups. I always make it for my extremely picky dad when I visit. He loves it, too! I always use corn when I make it since I don't like hominy. It freezes well also.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this soup was a disaster. The pork was tough and the broth was bland.

This soup was okay. The pork was a little tough and the broth was not very flavorful.

I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used a pork shoulder and it cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were tender. I will definitely be making this again.

This Mexican pork soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the pork was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again soon.
