Instant Pot Red Posole

Instant Pot Red Posole is a hearty, chile-forward soup where tender pork simmers with hominy in a savory, spiced broth. Notes of New Mexico and chipotle chiles, oregano, and garlic create warmth and depth, balanced by bright cilantro. Serve it steaming hot for a comforting weeknight meal or a festive gathering with your favorite toppings.
