The Mexican soup made with hominy and pork is pozole.
Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup or stew built around nixtamalized corn kernels called hominy. Pork is a common meat choice, although chicken, vegetarian, and regional versions also exist. The dish has pre-Columbian roots and was served ceremonially in Mesoamerica before becoming a widespread everyday and festive food.
The best-known varieties are pozole blanco, pozole verde, and pozole rojo. Their names refer to the color and style of the broth: plain, green with ingredients such as tomatillo and herbs, or red with dried chiles. Pozole is usually served with toppings including shredded cabbage or lettuce, onion, radishes, lime, avocado, oregano, and salsa.
Pozole is sometimes confused with menudo, another Mexican soup. Menudo is traditionally made with tripe, while pozole is defined by its hominy base. The dish is especially popular at celebrations, including New Year’s Eve, birthdays, Christmas, and Mexican Independence Day.
