Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup that's often enjoyed as a festive dish during holidays and special occasions. This version of Pozole utilizes simple ingredients to create a delicious and hearty soup that can soothe the effects of a night of drinking. Hominy, or dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkali solution to remove the hull and germ, is a key ingredient in this soup. This process releases niacin and makes the corn more palatable and digestible. Combined with chicken, spices, and vegetables, this soup is the ultimate hangover cure.

Instructions

1.In a large pot, add chicken, hominy, onion, poblano chiles, carrot, garlic, El Pato salsa de fresco, chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano, and seasoning salt.
2.Pour in chicken broth or water until the ingredients are just barely covered.
3.Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce it to low heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
4.After about an hour, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it then put chicken back in the pot.
5.In a small mixing bowl, whisk masa harina flour or cornmeal with 1/4-1/2 cup of cold water and stir mixture into pozole. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes and season to taste with additional salt if needed.
6.Serve hot with toppings such as shredded cabbage, sliced radish, diced onion, lime wedges, and cilantro leaves.
