I am soooo disappointed with this batch. It is lacking, not only the red color, but the intensity, depth and punch of flavor. I had to give it a try, just to see the difference, but I am hooked on yours. This latest batch is okay if you don't know the difference but since I've experienced your magnificent (I mean that!) recipe, I am completely spoiled. I failed to mention that I did not add chicken to my first rendition of your recipe but I will definitely add that little bird next time. I sure hope my boyfriend eats this second batch up real quick so I can get back to making our favorite - yours! We stopped in LasVegas, NM at the Plaza Hotel and had their beef stew soup. Asked for the recipe and they were offering to mail it but never received it. It was chunky, thick, saucy (thick sauce) and after the initial taste there was a smooth heat that grew from the back of your throat and dissipated there. Delicious! Anyone have any ideas how to duplicate such a sensation? I was thinking green chiles but am not sure.

I have to say I'm so addicted to this soup. Like you I was surprised how easy it was to work with the peppers. Let me know if you start playing with the recipe and make any changes. Always looking for an excuse to make another pot full. Donna- Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I have to say I'm so addicted to this soup.

Thanks for this recipe. I just returned from New Mexico with a big ol' red chile ristra and wondered what to make with it first. Yours was the first and I gotta say, real tasty. I didn't find reconstituting the chiles difficult at all. I used 10 and got some nice heat and intense flavor. It's a SIMPLE recipe and so well worth the little time it took to make it. Thanks a million - it will stay in my kitchen for all times. Wow! Thanks for this recipe. I just returned from New Mexico with a big ol' red chile ristra and wondered what to make with it first.

OK, so if you make this recipe please let me know how it stacks up. I will say this soup held up well with being frozen and reheated. This way you can make extra and enjoy it more than once! Can't wait to hear back. Jane- wow, a Posole tasting expert. OK, so if you make this recipe please let me know how it stacks up. I will say this soup held up well with being frozen and reheated.

You just need a blender and a sieve. If you have that you'll be good to go! Let me know if you give it a try. Trish- It's really not that difficult to cook and puree the peppers.

I bet it's good either way. I'd love to hear what you include in your posole. I'm finding a new love for chilis and trying to learn more about them, their tastes and uses. I'd love to hear more about the types of green chilies you harvest. I hope you share that on your blog. I think I'd like to roast and freeze a bunch too. Still trying to figure out what to do with all of the different dried chili peppers I grabbed at the Hispanic Food Mart. I need to get a good book on chilis. If you have one, let me know.

It still is, even though we're now in Colorado (which has strong Mexican roots as well). Posole brings good luck to the upcoming year. Good way to start out the next 365 days. Also a good way to celebrate Christmas Eve. I love it and everyone has their own version of how to make it. I usually use a mixture of red and green chile. Fall brings in the chile harvest and I roast and freeze a bunch (I mean a BUNCH) of green chile in separate bags, then use it for times like this. I like blended red and green, but there are as many ways to make this as people celebrating life. Good one, Diane. You've got me in the mood!
