Crockpot Posole Soup. I grew up with a Mexican step family and for that I am really glad because I had the opportunity to grow up with a Mexican grandma who cooked and showed us (the girls at least…that was just her way) how to cook. Place all ingredients except hominy and garnishes into the slow cooker. I never thought about making pozole in the crockpot until I came across this recipe!

Chef's Notes Tip: Cut down on grease in the broth by trimming the pork fat before cooking. Slow cooker posole is new to my culinary library, but like many slow cooker recipes, the sum is much more than its parts. Blend until smooth (about a minute or so) and add back to the crock, along with the Roast Meat. Oh my gosh this soup turned out amazing.

  6. Blend until smooth (about a minute or so) and add back to the crock, along with the Roast Meat..
  7. Lastly, Dump in your cans of hominy, season to taste (I added Garlic Salt to taste), cover, and let it all warm up another 20-30 minutes before serving. (Or until preferred heat temperature).
  8. For Garnish; Cut up the Avocados into long slices, Cabbage, and Radishes and put whatever you like on your soup bowl, Then top with a squeezed wedge of lemon juice. Enjoy! :).

I did take a lot of shortcuts. Used trader Joes roasted chicken pieces in place of pork, added a frozen lemon cube (that I had in freezer saved from juicing lots of lemons a few months back). Red posole (pozole) soup, a traditional Mexican stew, is a classic comfort food recipe made with dried chilis, pork, and hominy. Growing up, my mom always had a jar or two of hominy in the pantry. Having lived in Mexico to teach English for several years while my dad attended medical school, it was one of her favorite staples to keep on hand.
