On this chilly 24-degree day, there’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of Vegan Pozole Verde to warm you up from the inside out. Inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine, this delightful one-pot soup is a comforting blend of flavors that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.
Pozole Verde is a classic Mexican dish traditionally served at family gatherings, weddings, and holidays. And it’s no wonder why; this soup is a celebration of vibrant colors, rich aromas, and hearty ingredients that bring people together.
The star of the show is the tomatillos, which add a delightful tanginess and juiciness to the broth. Blended with cilantro and vegetable broth, they create a vibrant green base that’s both visually appealing and incredibly tasty.
To create a satisfying texture and heartiness, we include hominy, a traditional Mexican ingredient made from dried maize kernels. For a meaty touch, you can use jackfruit or vegan chicken substitute, adding a delicious protein element to the soup.
With just 30 minutes of cooking time, this Vegan Pozole Verde comes together effortlessly. The combination of flavors melds beautifully, creating a soup that tastes like it’s been simmering for hours.
Garnish the pozole with a dollop of plain unsweetened vegan yogurt, cubed avocado, fresh cilantro sprigs, sliced radishes, and crumbled tortilla chips or tortilla strips. Each topping adds a layer of texture and a burst of complementary flavors.
