If using dried hominy, soak overnight and cook in boiling water until tender, about 2 hours. Alternatively, drain and rinse canned hominy.

Pour in the broth and add the hominy. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes, or until pork is tender.
5
Meanwhile, roast the tomatillos and peppers over the stove or in the oven until charred.
6
Blend the roasted tomatillos and peppers with a handful of cilantro until smooth.

Add the green sauce to the soup and cook for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
