Pozole verde is a traditional Mexican soup that can be made with either chicken or pork in a salsa verde broth. The broth gets its vibrant green color from my homemade Spicy Salsa Verde (page 24), made with fresh tomatillos and green chiles. And just like with traditional pozole, the garnishes–finely shredded cabbage or lettuce, chopped onion, sliced radishes, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice–play just as important a role as the chicken and hominy.
INGREDIENTS
- 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs cut into large chunks
- 1 medium onion halved
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 sprigs cilantro
- 29 oz white hominy 1 can drained,

- 1/2 tsp crushed dried Mexican oregano
- Chopped red onion for garnish
- Shredded cabbage or lettuce for garnish
- Sliced radishes for garnish
- freshly squeezed lime juice for garnish
- Tostada shells or tortilla chips for serving (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In the Instant Pot, combine the chicken, onion, garlic, cilantro, hominy, and salsa verde. Add the chicken broth, salt, oregano, and 3 cups water.

RECIPE NOTES
Substitution tip: Haven’t tried making the Spicy Salsa Verde yet? Substitute 1 (28-ounce) can green enchilada sauce. Also, if you prefer more hominy in your pozole, add 1 (15-ounce) can.
