This Mexican Pozole is a fiery red soup filled with chiles, pork, chicken, and hominy corn. A cold-weather favorite with strong Mexican flavors!

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 poblano pepper roasted, seeded and diced
- 1 anaheim pepper roasted, seeded and diced

- 2 7.75 oz cans El Pato Tomato Sauce yellow can
- 42 oz red enchilada sauce

In a LARGE pot, add olive oil, onions, and oregano and saute (about 2-3 minutes). Add garlic (30 seconds).

-
Add other half of onion-garlic mixture and pork rib chunks. Cook for 5-8 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through.

Recipe Notes
To speed up cook time, you can cook the chicken and pork together but separating them during the initial cooking process allows this Pozole to have a deeper flavor. If too spicy you can add sour cream as garnish, this isn't traditional but still very yummy! You can FREEZE this soup. Cool and bag or place in freezer tupperware. When ready to eat, thaw and reheat.
