Interesting Facts

Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup often made with pork or chicken, but this vegetarian version uses hominy as the main ingredient.

The tomatillos add a tangy and slightly citrusy taste to the soup.

Hominy is made from white or yellow corn kernels that have been soaked in an alkali solution, which removes the hull and germ of the corn, resulting in a larger and softer corn.
