Pablo's Traditional Jalisco Pozole Soup
"Pozole is a staple of New Mexican cuisine. This pork and hominy dish, rich in spiciness and flavor, will satisfy the hungriest families and friends on the coldest of days. Add chopped cilantro and lime juice to soup...cilantro and the sourness of the lime combine to give the soup plenty of zing!"
