A family recipe that I'm sharing because it's awesome:

Ingredients:
3.5# - boneless pork loin - boiled, cooled & shredded.
1 large can (105 oz.) white hominy - drained.
1 large onion - diced & sauteed in olive oil.
2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. thyme
2 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 -14oz. cans chicken broth
20 oz. green chile - chopped (OP recommends genuine Hatch, New Mexico HOT green chile but you will probably have to make do with Old Ortega "medium" in a can from the grocery store)
Note from OP: I like to add some chopped celery.



Directions:
Simmer for 3 hours in a large (at least 6 quart) crock pot, covered. Add green chile during last hour of cooking. Best if cooked the day before and refrigerated overnight.

Serve flour tortillas on the side (OP uses homemade whole wheat flour tortillas)



Number Of Servings: Will feed a small army (Another OP note that's very important: if you don't have a 6 or 7 quart crock pot, you'll want to cut this recipe in half. and always feel free to go OVER on the green chiles).

    I might be way off, but I've calculated this at about 220 cals per 2 cup serving. Minus the tortilla.

    I am. I also spelled posole right. Some will use a "z"

    My wife loves pozole, but prefers chicken to pork. That might also be an option to make it healthier.

    We add fresh lime juice when we serve it, which adds a lot of flavor. Since she's not dieting, she eats it with tostadas, but I can attest that the soup by itself is a great meal.
