High Desert Table - Easy Chicken Pozole - plated with jalapenos

When I spooned up a bowl of this authentic chicken pozole for my husband last week, the first thing he said was “this tastes like New Mexico”. I cannot think of a better compliment than this. This is a simple soup that takes some time to make, but I promise it’s worth it. There are many kinds of posole, so to celebrate the full arrival of Spring, I decided to make one loaded … [Read more...] about Spring Chicken Posole Verde
