How To Make southwest pork and posole soup

  • 1
    Brown the chops in the bottom of a soup pot. Add the rotel tomatoes and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 2
    When they are fork tender, remove and shred the meat. Return meat to the soup pot.
  • 3
    Combine the remaining ingredients in the soup pot.
  • 4
    Bring soup to a boil. Lower the temperature so the soup can simmer for 1 to 1 hours.
  • 5
    If you want a less spicy soup use mild rotel tomatoes.
  • 6
    I like to top the soup with tortilla strips. You can find them next to the croutons.
