Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a bowl, combine the ground pork with cumin, coriander, ancho chili powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Toss until the pork is evenly coated with the spices.
-
Step 2.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork and sliced onion, and cook, breaking the pork into small pieces with a spoon, until the pork is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Step 3.
While the pork is browning, finely chop the cilantro stems. Once the pork is browned, add the chopped cilantro stems to the pot and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Add the chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes (including their juices) to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Then add the rinsed hominy, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Stir in the lime juice. Serve the soup topped with fresh cilantro leaves, sliced radishes, and lime wedges on the side if desired.
