Pozole

Today after church, we were invited over to the home of the Arredondo family (Juana and Reme) to celebrate Reme's birthday. Juana had made a massive pot of pozole for all to enjoy. Pozole is a soup made with chicken (or sometimes other meat) and hominey. We sprinkled oregano on top, shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, and ate it with cream spread on tostadas. It was quite tasty. This is how to make pozole.
