Description

This vegan pozole recipe uses pinto beans instead of pork for a flavorful, meatless soup! This recipe is packed with spicy flavor, plus plenty of plant-based protein from the beans!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 15 oz cans pinto beans, drained
  • 2 15 oz cans hominy, drained
  • 10 oz enchilada sauce
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

Stovetop Directions

  1. Add the olive oil and onion to a large pot. Heat over medium heat and sauté for 8-9 minutes or until the onion has softened.
  2. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the pinto beans, hominy, enchilada sauce, and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to a low and simmer for 30-35 minutes until the hominy is tender.

Instant Pot Directions

  1. Add the olive oil and onion to the Instant Pot and use the “sauté” function to cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Add the garlic and spices and continue to sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and then lock the lid in place. Set to “Manual” pressure cook for 18 minutes. It will take about 10-15 minutes to come to pressure, then the time will begin to count down.
  4. Once the timer runs out, quick-release the pressure.
  5. Turn off the Instant Pot and serve.
