My skeptical-of-new-recipes husband went crazy over this (he will eat anything with cumin in it). I had made the Slow Cooker Turkey Breast recipe with a 7pounder to make the Leftover Turkey Cheesecake recipe and had so much left over, that I had to find something to do with it. This was PERFECT with it. So good. There was only one brand of turkey broth at the store but I was just happy they had any. The onions and peppers disintegrated, I think the only thing I would do differently is to take that out and add that back in at the end. Also had leftover bread and made some croutons (Garlic Crouton recipe) which was AWESOME with this. The skeptical-hubby was nervous again but now says they are 'key' to this soup. Another phrase out of his mouth 'instant classic' and 'part of the rotation' ;)

I don't know if it taste authentic or not but it was a wonderful change of pace from our regular turkey leftovers!! It was flavorful and easy to make. I used corn instead of the hominy but it still came out delicious. I will use this recipes again for sure...simple wonderful !!!

This was amazing with only a few changes! I used center cut pork chops (2lbs cubed) instead of turkey. Chicken stock instead of turkey (I didn't have any). I threw in 2 cups of frozen corn, 1 can of tomato sauce and slow cooked all of it on low for 5 hrs. To date this has been the only recipe with hominy my husband will every eat! AMAZING! Thank you for this recipe!

I agree with another reviewer who commented on the traditional recipes for posole, but I have to say that I thought this recipe was okay. For someone that has never had posole (my husband and his parents) they liked it just fine. I did leave out the poblanos, because I didn't know what kind of heat they would add to the soup and my husband and his parents can't handle much spice. Otherwise, I made this recipe as written. I like that the beans and hominy make this a very filling soup.

Great receipe. It came out very spicy hot. Don't know if my chiles were extra hot, but is a good receipe. It's one that I will keep.

Great soup! Pretty much followed the recipe and it was delicious. Obviously it's not a traditional pozole, but hey it tastes really good, isn't that what matters!

I followed the recipe to the letter and it's great! Maybe not quite like "authentic" posole, but still very good. A nice change from the same old "turkey bone soup". Also, it's not as spicy as you might imagine using the fresh poblanos and canned green chilies. Just a nice hint of spice. This one's a keeper!

I made this using my leftover Thanksgiving turkey carcass. It was absolutely delicious. Surpasses my usual turkey noodle soup recipe for sure. It's a nice change of pace. I started by boiling the carcass until the meat was mostly all off the bone. Drained it and picked out the good meat. I used the broth and meat without measuring. I didn't have poblano chile peppers or green chile peppers, so I used a dried ancho chile that I had. I only had one can of white beans rather than two, but it seemed like enough. This definitely needs toppings. We let each person top their own with cilantro, lime, lettuce, sharp cheddar, onion and tortilla chips. Yum! They totally improve the soup. Without them it would seem dull. With them it is delicious!

Ay caramba! Me gusta mucho! Left out the beans, pureed some of the hominy and threw in some tortilla chips which fall apart to give it a thicker consistency. Seasoning is right on. I'm sure I will make this often.
