Posole is a traditional soup or stew made with hominy – dried corn kernels that have been soaked in lye-water. The soaking process gives hominy a unique flavor and texture, and actually makes the corn kernels more nutritious – by converting some of the B vitamins it contains so they’re more easily absorbed by the body.
