My family named this spicy soup after our state moniker, “New Mexico, Land of Enchantment.” We usually make it around Christmas when we have lots of family over…and we never have leftovers. —Suzanne Caldwell Artesia, New Mexico

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds pork stew meat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups beef broth
2 cans (15-1/2 ounces each) hominy, rinsed and drained
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped, optional
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

In a Dutch oven, cook pork and onion in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in the broth, hominy, chilies, jalapeno if desired, salt, cumin, oregano, pepper and cayenne.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until meat is tender. Stir in cilantro. Serve with tortilla strips if desired. Yield: 5 servings.

This was the greatest soup- made a double batch and we ate it all...wish I had more. One suggestion- for the garnishes( which are very important to posole) have shredded cabbage, diced radishes, diced white onion, shredded cheese ( Monterey Jack), fresh fried tortilla chips and lime wedges in separate bowls to offer to your dinner guests and let them top their soup with garnishes of their choice. This makes a great soup absolutely fabulous!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SUZANNE!!!!!!!!!!!
