Black bean and poblano pozole

Aaaaaah pozole. Awesome awesome spicy hominy stew. Totes delicious. Welcome to the end of February guys! SO ready to say goodbye to winter. Spring, I welcome you. Let’s quit the last full month of winter right with some black bean and poblano pozole. Score.

February has actually been pretty good to us here in rainy ole Olympia, WA. The weather has been totally Spring-esque, with 60 degree days followed by frigid rainy nights. On top of this, a good friend of mine had a newbie baby this month! We are meeting him today and I just know he will brighten up our spirits. I love teeny squishy babies. Not ready for my own quite yet, but other people’s kids are freakin rad.

So, let’s talk about this soup shall we? It’s totally vegetarian. In fact, it’s vegan. HUZZAH! Loaded with healthy veggies, beans, and of course…… SPICE.

Topped off with herby cilantro and crunchy radish. This is my fave soup I made this winter! The spicy coconut carrot soup and butternut squash soup with smoked gouda and spicy chickpeas top the charts too.
