Pozole - Kfar

Pozole is a traditional Mexican soup that contains pork (and/or chicken) and hominy. The result should be as clear as possible. Brown the onions in a skillet with =no oil= over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring as necessary to make sure they do not burn. Add the garlic and cook for additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the soup ingredients and cook at a slow simmer for and hour or so. When almost ready to serve, add the hominy, liquid and all. Cook for an additional 15 minutes. Cut tortillas in strips 2" x 1/2" and either fry in a shallow bath of oil or nuke to get them crispy. Place the tortilla strips in a soup bowl, ladle over the pozole, and top with cheese, lettuce, radishes, avocado slices, whatever sounds good at the time. Recipe by KFar, concocted on 01/03/1999.
