Preparation: | 1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and next 4 ingredients (onion through chipotle); cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato, garlic, hominy and broth. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
2. Trim fat from the pork. Cut pork into bite-size pieces. Add pork, spinach, and cilantro to pan. Cook for 7 minutes or until pork is done. Ladle 1-1/2 c soup into each of 6 bowls; top each with 1/4 c lettuce, 2 Tbsp radishes, 2 Tbsp cheese, and 2 tsp green onions. |

It's tasty and very easy... (I have a couple other posole recipes that I clipped from The Oregonian that were quite labor-intensive, so they haven't been tested yet, though they sounded good.) --Gwyn ~~~ Yield: 6 servings Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 315 Calories; 11g Fat (30.1% calories from fat); 24g Protein; 33g Carbohydrate; 7g Dietary Fiber; 57mg Cholesterol; 1081mg Sodium.
