I made pulled pork in the crock pot the other day and today I used the leftover pork and broth to make a pork pesole soup.

It is delicious! I plan on freezing it in individual containers and taking it to work all week! I approximate it into 6 servings and about 200 calories each.

Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cloves
5 oz. Pulled Pork (cooked with 1 onion, 4 cups chicken broth, seasoning (cumin, pepper, sage)
1 15oz can hominy
broth (I used approx 4 cups reserved broth from crockpot + 2 cups chicken broth [99%fat free, low sodium version])
1 small can of diced green chiles
1/2 cup peas (added just for extra veggies)
1/2 cup corn(added just for extra veggies

I did use leftover crockpot pulled pork for this - so I cooked a pork tenderloin for about 8 hours in a crockpot with sliced onion and 4 cups chicken broth and some seasoning. Then I pulled the pork out, shredded it and saved it for this recipe. I also saved all the broth and refrigerated it for today. When I opened it today I skimmed the fat off the top and then poured it into the pan.

Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add in the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Then add in the spices and cook for 1 minute. Add in the shredded pork and stir together for 1 minute.

Add in the hominy, broth, chiles and peas & corn (if using).

Then bring it to a simmer, turn the heat down a bit and let simmer for 1-2 hours. The longer it simmers the more the flavors blend together.

That's it - very simple and tasty too!.

Enjoy! :)
