This recipe is a twist or two on an old authentic Mexican dish. It's a crock-pot dish (It can be made in a couple of hours, but I think the crock-pot rendition is MUCH better)and it gets better with each reheating. The authentic dish from Old Mexico takes three days to make, so a crock-pot comes in handy to make it in one. Although it has Jalapeno peppers in it, it is not hot, merely very flavorful. Who loves this dish? Everyone I've ever made it for, including hard to please family members. :) Everyone who tastes it asks for the recipe. It is nice enough for special company! Try it!

How To Make pozole verde (mexican chicken soup)
-
1Combine STEP ONE ingredients in large crock-pot with water covering ingredients, about one half to three quarters of crock pot space. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. I love to put this on overnight and do step two in the morning before work or church.
-
2After 6-8 hours, remove cilantro from crock-pot and discard.
-
3Put STEP TWO ingredients in large saucepan with just enough water to cover. Cook only until tomatillos change color. When finished, drain and put in blender and puree.
-
4Add puree to crock-pot and cook on low an additional 4 hours.
-
5When soup is done, add toppings as desired and enjoy!
