Pozole…best soup on the market! When it comes to soups, I normally save them for cold weather and never make them during the summer except for this one! I will eat pozole any time of year! Normally you see pozole with a red sauce and pork but this changes things up a bit! If you have never tried pozole before, think of a white chicken chili soup but no bean and hominy instead and has the spice of the chiles and a zing from limes!
