Whenever I have leftover pulled pork in my fridge, this easy 30 Minute Posole recipe is the only thing on my mind. It’s my budget-friendly, quick take on traditional posole, made with pantry staples and ready in half an hour. This filling, flavor-packed, comforting stew is leftovers done right. It’s a weeknight dinner you’ll purposefully make extra pork for, just so you have an excuse to whip it up again. 😊
“Don’t let this recipe pass you by. This recipe has become our “go to”. It’s so flavorful, easy and quick. Don’t forget the lime and cilantro at the end, it really makes it pop! So delicious.”
Margaret
Quick & Budget-Friendly Posole
Posole, or pozole, is a rich stew, typically made with slow-cooked pork, hominy, chiles, and lots of delicious toppings. The “posole” I made here is definitely not authentic; it’s more of a quickie stand-in for the good stuff. Kind of like ramen you buy in a 50-cent pack versus real ramen. If you want to make real posole/pozole, here is an authentic Mexican Pozole recipe from My Latina Table, so you can see what it’s really all about.
I used up leftover pork from my chili rubbed pork recipe, which helped my “quickie posole” come together really fast, so this recipe is a great way to take advantage of those leftovers on busy nights!
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Try a different meat. Pork is the typical meat for posole, and some readers have swapped the pulled pork for leftover cooked pork chops (roughly chopped). But if you have leftover shredded chicken or beef, I say, why not go ahead and use that. I think it would be equally as delicious!
Like our chicken enchilada soup, I used my homemade red enchilada sauce as a base for this soup, which helped thicken the broth and provide a TON of instant flavor.I don’t recommend substituting with store-bought enchilada sauce as I don’t think it’ll work quite the same!
To make this recipe vegetarian/vegan, use vegetable broth and add an extra can of hominy in place of the pulled pork. Canned pinto, kidney, or black beans (drained) would also be delicious and add some protein.
Add your favorite toppings! I kept the toppings for my soup simple to keep costs low, but if you want to splurge, I think this soup would be awesome with a little shredded cheddar, pepper jack, sour cream, avocado, shredded cabbage, or thinly sliced radish, too.
Use your leftover pulled pork and a quick homemade enchilada sauce to make this super fast and easy, intensely flavored 30 Minute Posole. Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.
1½cupsshredded porkpre-cooked, (or chicken or beef) $3.79
4oz. candiced green chiles $0.88

Toppings
1fresh lime $0.25
½bunchfresh cilantro$0.42
Instructions
Gather and prep all of your ingredients.
Finely dice the onion, then add it to a large soup pot along with the cooking oil. Sauté the onion in the oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until it is tender and transparent.
Add the flour and chili powder and continue to sauté for two minutes more. The mixture will be fairly dry, so stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add 2 cups water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to the pot. Whisk the ingredients together until the tomato paste is dissolved. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, at which point it will thicken.
Finally, add the chicken broth, shredded meat, diced chiles, and hominy (drained). Stir to combine and then heat through (about 10 minutes).
Cut the lime into wedges and roughly chop the cilantro. Top each bowl with chopped cilantro and a wedge of lime to squeeze over top.
*The mild chili powder used in this recipe is a mild blend of chile peppers and other spices, but does not include salt.**I like to use Better Than Bouillon to make my broth to keep costs low.***Hominy, one of the key ingredients in posole, is a large maize grain that has been treated with lye or lime, which softens its outer husk and gives it a wonderfully chewy texture. You can find hominy both dried and canned, like beans, but I use the canned version for convenience. They are, without a doubt, my favorite part of this stew. However, if you can’t find hominy, you can use canned, fresh, or frozen corn in a pinch.
Sauté the onion: Dice 1 yellow onion and add it to a large soup pot along with 2 Tbsp vegetable or canola oil. Sauté the onion in the oil over medium heat until it is soft and transparent.
Although 2 Tbsp oil seems like more than needed to sauté one small onion; that amount of oil is needed to make the roux in the next step, which provides the thickening power for the soup.
Make the roux: Once the onion is soft, add 2 Tbsp flour and 2 Tbsp mild chili powder. Continue to sauté this mixture for two minutes to toast the flour and chili powder. It may be slightly dry, so stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add the sauce base: Whisk in 2 cups water, 3 oz. tomato paste (half of a 6 oz. can), ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, and ¾ tsp salt, until the tomato paste has completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, at which point it will thicken. This is basically my easy red enchilada sauce (plus an onion).
Make the soup: Drain one 15 oz. can of hominy and add it to the pot. Then add a 4 oz. can of diced green chiles and 1½ cups of pre-cooked, shredded meat (I used pork, but chicken or beef would also work). Finally, stir in 3 cups chicken broth and heat through.
Serve: Toppings are one of the most fun parts of this dish, so I chopped up about ½ bunch cilantro and cut 1 fresh lime into wedges. The lime juice adds a really nice tart/fresh flavor to the broth. Top each bowl with the chopped cilantro and a wedge of lime when serving. Enjoy!
What to Serve with Posole
I would absolutely love this soup with cornbread on the side, so I could crumble the cornbread into the soup and soak up all that wonderful broth! A scoop of cooked rice would also be a great topper for the soup to round out the meal. I’d also serve this posole with a tostada shell or air fried tortilla chips for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
It’s recommended to use up leftovers within 3-4 days, so how long you can store this soup for will depend on the freshness of your leftover pulled pork (or chicken/beef). Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge. This quick posole can also be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop before enjoying again. Let frozen leftovers thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
If ever there was a meal-worthy soup, it would be this easy Broccoli Cheddar Soup! This bowl full of colorful, chunky vegetables and a super thick cheesy “broth” is sure to leave you warm, happy, and satisfied. Unlike others I’ve tried, my broccoli cheddar soup recipe doesn’t use heavy cream and is slightly lighter on the cheese, so you still get all that creamy, cheesy goodness without feeling totally weighed down. But you can always add more cheese if you’d like! #norules.
“Tried this, and my husband said it was the best broccoli cheddar soup he’d ever had, and all three kids asked for seconds! We’re going to be adding this to our regular rotation. Thanks for another stellar recipe!”

Hearty Broccoli and Cheddar Soup
This cheesy homemade soup is so incredibly forgiving, which makes it one of my favorite creamy soups. The ingredients are kitchen staples like butter, flour, broth, milk, and cheddar, plus onion, broccoli, and carrots. But you can swap out some of the ingredients, add more cheese, or even blend the soup if preferred…it’ll still be just as cozy and satisfying!
Recipe Success Tips & Variations
Use freshly shredded sharp cheddar for the best flavor and texture! Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can affect the texture of your soup.
Make it vegetarian. I used chicken broth as the base for my soup because it tends to be a little more on the mild side, and the light color doesn’t overshadow the orange color of the cheese. However, you can use vegetable broth instead to make this a vegetarian broccoli cheddar soup. Just be aware that it tends to have a stronger flavor, and the darker color may darken your soup.
I dice my carrots fairly chunky, but you can dice them really small or slice them into matchsticks (like the Panera Bread broccoli cheddar soup) if you’d like.
Use any cheese you like (or a mix of cheeses). I use a sharp cheddar to impart a strong cheesy flavor into my soup, but use what you’ve got! Some readers have tried mozzarella, Parmesan, various cheddars (mild, smoked, etc), and a Mexican cheese blend.
Add even more cheese than I use below if you want your soup extra cheesy.
Want to make it spicy? Increase the cayenne pepper and use a habanero cheddar or pepper jack cheese!
This broccoli cheddar soup is supposed to be a thick, hearty soup. If you want it EVEN thicker, go ahead and use an immersion blender to blend the veggies before adding your cheese. Or if you prefer a thinner soup, add a touch more broth or milk.
This easy Broccoli Cheddar Soup recipe is chock full of colorful, chunky vegetables in a rich and cheesy broth for a totally meal-worthy soup. Step-by-step videos can be seen below the recipe card.
Dice the onion and chop the broccoli into very small pieces. Peel and slice the carrots.
Add the butter and onion to a large soup pot and sauté over medium until the onions are soft and translucent. Add the flour and sauté for 2 minutes more, or until the flour is coating the bottom of the pot and is a light golden brown color.
Pour in chicken broth and whisk to dissolve the flour. Turn the heat up to medium-high and, while stirring often, bring the broth to a simmer. When it reaches a simmer it will thicken to a gravy consistency.
Turn the heat down to medium and whisk in the whole milk, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Allow the broth to come back to a simmer.
Add the chopped broccoli and carrots and continue to simmer the vegetables, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
Test a piece of carrot or broccoli to make sure it's to your desired tenderness. If not, simmer a bit longer.
Turn the heat to medium-low and stir the shredded cheese into the soup, one handful at a time, until it is fully melted. ***
Taste the soup and add salt if needed (this will depend on the salt content of your broth—I did not add any).
*Either fresh or frozen broccoli is fine to use. I suggest letting frozen broccoli thaw completely before adding it to the soup, and you’ll probably still want to chop it into much smaller pieces (think bite-sized, fits-on-a-spoon small).Side note: I think I’ll dice my broccoli even smaller than I’ve shown in the photos next time!**Both store-bought andhomemade chicken broth will work here. I like the Better Than Bouillon brand for a store-bought broth option. Use low-sodium broth if you’re watching your salt intake. ***Reducing the heat helps the cheese melt and incorporate into the soup. Cheese sauces can break and clump if they’re boiled too hard. Be sure to reduce the heat before adding the cheese to your soup!
How to Make Broccoli Cheddar Soup Step-by-Step videos
Sauté the onion: Start by dicing 1 yellow onion and chopping 1 lb. of broccoli into very small pieces. Peel and slice 2 carrots. Next, add 4 Tbsp butter and the diced onion to a large soup pot and sauté over medium until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add 4 Tbsp flour and sauté for 2 minutes more, or until the flour is coating the bottom of the pot and is a light golden brown color.
Add the chicken broth: Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and whisk to dissolve the flour. Turn the heat up to medium-high and, while stirring often, bring the broth to a simmer. When it reaches a simmer it will thicken to a gravy consistency.
Add the seasonings: Turn the heat down to medium and whisk in 2 cups whole milk, ½ tsp smoked paprika, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper. Allow the broth to come back to a simmer.
Add the veggies: Now add the chopped broccoli and carrots to the pot.
Simmer: Continue to simmer the vegetables, stirring often, for 15 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Test a piece of carrot or broccoli to make sure it’s to your desired tenderness. If not, simmer a bit longer.
Add the cheese: Turn the heat to medium-low and stir 6 oz. shredded cheese into the soup, one handful at a time, until it is fully melted. It’s important that your heat is reduced to medium-low here to ensure a nice emulsion and avoid any separation.
Serve: Taste the soup and add salt if needed (this will depend on the salt content of your broth—I did not add any). Serve and enjoy!
Soooo thick and cheesy!! 😍
What Goes with Broccoli Cheddar Soup?
This homemade soup, with its super thick and cheesy “broth,” is just begging for some crackers or my thick, crusty no knead bread for scooping up every last drop. I love saltine crackers with mine, but ranch oyster crackers would be awesome. Some crumbled air fried tortilla chips would also add the satisfying crunch I crave. But who says the soup has to be a solo event? A side sandwich would also be great. I LOVE a classic BLT or a cottage cheese wrap stuffed with salad veggies with my soups!
How to Store Leftovers
Most of my soup recipes are big batch, so you can freeze the leftovers and stock your freezer with all that goodness, but this soup is the exception. Cheese sauces (and, in this case, broths) thickened with a butter and flour roux don’t hold up to freezing and thawing. But don’t worry, I made this a small batch cheese soup recipe, so you don’t have to deal with too many leftovers. This recipe makes four generous servings.
That said, this creamy cheddar broccoli soup will stay good in your fridge for 3-4 days. And boy, are the leftovers DELICIOUS! They reheat beautifully in the microwave, or can be reheated on the stove top over medium-low heat, stirring often.
