Types of Pozole

Pozole is a delicious, hearty soup that's a staple in Mexican cuisine. It's made with a meat and hominy base, and usually served with toppings like cabbage, radish, onions, lime and avocado.

In its simplest form, pozole is a broth-based soup made from pork meat (usually shoulder), hominy (dried corn kernels), red chile peppers and spices. The word "pozole" comes from the Nahuatl word "pozolli," which means "foam." It gets this name because when the dish is cooked it has a layer of foam on top that looks like froth on water.

In Mexico City there are two versions of this dish: traditional and modern. The traditional version uses pork shoulder bones as its main ingredient; whereas the modern version uses pork meatballs instead of bones.

The traditional version of pozole was made by soaking dried maize in water overnight before cooking it into a thick paste called masa madre ("mother dough"). This paste was then used to make tamales or tamalitos de pollo ("little tamales" made with chicken).
