It’s been a few weeks since posting anything, and quite a
lot has happened. My husband and I are finally moved in to our new place! While
most everything is unpacked and organized, there are a few boxes left to sort out,
and a few details that need attention. I’ve been photographing the whole moving
in process to show the before and after. I am looking forward to finally having
all the boxes unpacked and every last item in its appropriate place. There are
few things as frustrating as wasting extensive, precious time trying to dig
through boxes in search of some necessary item.
The day after we moved, I came down with a cold and slight
fever. As if moving and unpacking while having to still work wasn’t enough on
my plate, now I felt physically miserable. Super. I’m not sure if getting a
cold was the result of the stress from moving or simply because I work around
young children and they’re all sick; either way, I was not pleased. All I
wanted was some soup, but nothing too heavy or creamy. The time had come to
break out my mother-in-law’s Pozole (Posole) Verde recipe.
This is an excellent soup, but a variation of traditional
Pozole. This version trades the typical pork or chicken for squash, making it a
vegetarian soup. I took a few liberties this time around in adjusting the
recipe to be more to my taste, and I absolutely love how it turned out. The “broth”
has a lot of flavor and kick to it, and the vegetables are hearty and filling
without being overwhelming.
Here's what I did…
