Variations

Vegetarian Posole
Make as directed, omitting chicken, diced tomatoes and flour. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Add 1½ pounds (681 grams) fresh sweet potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces), 1½ cups (340 grams) salsa verde and 1 clove (5 grams) additional garlic.

Pro Tip
Instead of broiling peppers, char them over medium-high heat on your gas range. Using tongs, hold peppers over hot flame, turning until charred.
