Traditional Mexican pozole is rich, meaty, and full of flavor. I absolutely love it. This pozole skips the meat, but is still full of flavor.

This recipe is inspired by a hearty soup I had at the Naplavka Farmer’s Market in Prague. We visited in 2019, and got up early one spring morning to beat the crowds at the Charles Bridge. Although the day would turn out to be quite pleasant, the morning was very chilly. After some site seeing
