A Bowl of Home: Silvia’s Family Green Pozole

In this heartfelt episode of Hand Me Down Recipes, I’m joined by Silvia Martinez of Mama Latina Tips to explore the warmth, flavor, and family history behind her beloved green pozole with chicken — a traditional Mexican soup made with tomatillos, hominy, and love.

We talk about the origins of pozole verde in Silvia’s home state of Guanajuato, how her family lightened the classic red pozole by swapping in chicken and a vibrant green salsa, and why this dish has become her “DNA recipe.” Silvia also shares practical tips for making pozole ahead, freezing leftovers, and customizing toppings to suit your taste.

Whether you're looking for a frugal weeknight meal, a cozy fall soup, or a meaningful way to connect with family traditions, this episode invites you into the kitchen — and into Silvia’s story.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What makes green pozole different from red pozole
• The secret to great flavor: tomatillos, oregano, and homemade broth
• How Silvia's family simplified pozole for busy weeknights
• Tips for toppings, freezing, and making it your own
