Vegetarian Pozole Verde (Hominy Soup)
80
Grace Preya.
"This recipe is my vegetarian adaptation of Pozole Verde: Hominy and Meat Soup with Green Herbs from 'A Cook's Tour of Mexico' by Nancy Zaslavsky. It's a great way to use up all the tomatillos and greens that we tend to get in our CSA boxes in the Pacific Northwest. This soup is great topped with a quick red onion pickle and crumbled cotija cheese."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place pinto beans in a large stock pot with water to cover; let soak, 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
- Cover the beans with about 3 inches water and cook over medium-low heat until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pumpkin seeds; cook and stir until light brown and popping, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Pour pumpkin seeds and oil into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Add 1/2 the tomatillos, serrano peppers, arugula, spinach, lettuce, parsley, and cilantro into the blender. Puree until smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining tomatillos, serrano peppers, arugula, spinach, lettuce, parsley, and cilantro.
- Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a deep pot. Add the tomatillo sauce carefully. Simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Pour pinto beans, vegetable stock, and hominy into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Let simmer, uncovered, until flavors are thoroughly blended, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- You can use dried cranberry beans in place of the pinto beans if desired.
- Substitute serrano chiles with any mild chile you prefer.
- You may need to blend the sauce in more than 2 batches depending on the size of your blender or food processor.

Really tasty soup. I enjoyed it a lot. Only changes were using canned pintos and I used a milder chili pepper because I am a wimp
