Yield serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), halved crosswise
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) low-sodium chicken broth
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) hominy, drained and rinsed
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups water
1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate.
  • Add onion and garlic to pot; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to soften, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add chipotle chiles; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken broth, hominy, tomatoes with their juice, pork, and the water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145°F, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove pork, and shred with two forks; return to pan, and stir to combine. To serve, ladle soup into bowls, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
  • Make Ahead
  • This dish actually improves when made ahead and refrigerated. After returning shredded pork to soup, let cool completely and store up to 1 day in an airtight container; reheat gently before serving.
