Still raining here today :( All of the crappy weather is messin with my mood! lol I feel like I live in Seattle! haha! I don't know what Mother Nature is doing to us!!?? Hurry up Spring!

ReplyDeleteOh yum...adding this to my collection of soups :-)
ReplyDeleteYou recipe sounds good, I am going to try it. We make pork posole.
ReplyDeleteIt's similar to yours, minus the potatoes and add some cilantro and jalapenos.
posole looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite soup yet. I've recently made a chile verde version with chicken that's so yummy. My favorite part is the toppings.
ReplyDeleteThis looks AWESOME!! Thanks for sharing hun :)
ReplyDeleteHi TJ, I'm QUITE sure the scale will show you love this week!!! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!! This would probably freeze well to I would imagine. Then you can use whatever toppings you have on hand at the time. Definitely going to try this.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!! Will surely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe, it looks amazing. I love soup. I have never had hominy but would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI too am so sick of this rain! I need some sunshine to improve my mood.
Awesome looking soup =) I'm originally from So Cal so I love Mexican food.
ReplyDeleteI hate to break it to 'ya, but it's been sunny and beautiful here in Seattle. All kidding aside the gray really does get to you. For me the key is just to keep moving and keep going when I really feel like hibernating. It helps me keep going and not notice the rain so much.
Deliciousness ~ except for the radishes :D
