This simple and authentic Mexican recipe for Crock-Pot Posole Soup will warm you up with the traditional flavors of Mexico . Simple to make in the slow cooker.

Slow Cooker Posole Soup

I grew up with a Mexican step family and for that I am really glad because I had theopportunityto grow up with a Mexican grandma who cooked and showed us (the girls at least…that was just her way) how to cook. I have fond memories of sitting at her big kitchen table sorting a 25 lb. bag of Pinto beans, or warming the tortillas on the comal that we had for every meal. And I remember the yummy dishes. Enchiladas, burritos, tacos, and the soups. WhileMenudo seemed to be the most popular soup, it seemed like there was always a pot simmering on the back burner. It just really wasn’t my favorite. I think at some point someone told me that it contained tripe (cow’s stomach) and it grossed me out. So if I HAD to eat a bowl I would just pick out the hominy.

But my favorite soup grandma Lopez made was Posole. Slow simmered pork with spices and aromatics and tons of hominy rounding it out with this earthy corn flavor.

And while grandma didn’t cook her soup in a Crock-Pot this recipe is pretty much the same as hers except instead of simmering on low on the stove we simmer away in the crock. And it tastes just as good as I remember.
