Ingredients

    46 oz Hominy, canned (two 25 oz cans drained)
    4 cups Chicken Broth, (two 32 oz containers)
    2 cups, Onion, chopped
    3 cloves Garlic, minced
    2 Tsp Cumin, ground
    1 Tsp Oregano, leaves or ground
    6 Ancho Chilis, dried
    1/2 cup Green Chilis, canned
    2 Bay Leaves
    2 lbs Pork Stew Meat

Tips

If you want to change the flavor a bit, add 1-2 Tbs of Mole mix from a jar. This gives a more complex flavor to the soup.

To make the soup richer, add 1-2 Tbs of cocoa powder mixed with a little water to make a paste. Add at the beginning of the cooking cycle in order to give the cocoa time to blend with the other ingredients.

NOTE: Ancho Chilis are a mild pepper and can be replaced with 1/2 cup ground chili, either Ancho or another pepper of choice, depending on desired level of heat.


Directions

Place the Ancho Chilis in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 10 minutes, or until softened.

While chilis are soaking chop one large onion (should have 2 cups).

De-stem and seed the chilis and puree them with a little of the soaking water to make a paste.

Add all of the ingredients to the crockpot, including the chili paste.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or until meat is tender.

Serve with sliced radish, chopped green onion, diced avocado, fresh cilantro leaves, lime wedges and crumbled Queso Fresco.
