Everyone has a go-to comfort food. South of the border, it's pozole - a thick soup loaded with lots of vegetables and tender hominy and featuring roasted meat, usually pork or chicken. It's a joy when made entirely from scratch over many hours, but a quick version using leftovers, convenience items, and the InstantPot is a weeknight joy!
