If you’ve ever craved a big, comforting bowl of authentic Mexican Pozole Rojo, this easy homemade recipe will become your new go-to! 🇲🇽

Rich, hearty, and bursting with smoky red chile flavor, Pozole Rojo (red hominy soup) is traditionally served for celebrations — but this simple version is so quick and foolproof, you can enjoy it any day of the week. 🌮✨

With tender pork (or chicken), earthy hominy, and a deep, flavorful broth made with dried chiles, it’s comfort in a bowl — perfect for cozy nights or weekend gatherings.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 2 lbs (900 g) pork shoulder or pork butt, cut into chunks (or use chicken thighs for a lighter option)

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 10 cups water or broth

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white hominy, drained and rinsed

For the Red Chile Sauce:

  • 4 guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded

  • 3 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • ½ tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp oregano

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • Salt to taste

Toppings (the best part!):

  • Shredded cabbage or lettuce 🥬

  • Sliced radishes

  • Diced onion

  • Lime wedges 🍋

  • Dried oregano

  • Crushed red pepper

  • Tortilla chips or tostadas

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Cook the meat:
    In a large pot, combine pork, onion, garlic, salt, and water/broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1½ hours, until tender. Remove meat and shred it; strain and reserve broth.

  2. Make the red chile sauce:
    Toast the dried chiles in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Soak them in hot water for 15 minutes, then blend with garlic, cumin, oregano, broth, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Strain if desired.

  3. Combine:
    Pour the red chile sauce into the reserved broth. Add the shredded pork and hominy. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  4. Serve and top:
    Ladle the pozole into bowls and add your favorite toppings — cabbage, radish, lime, and a sprinkle of oregano. 🌶️🥣
