In reply to Grace. Hi Grace, sorry this wasn't spicy enough for you. The guajillo dried chillis do tend to be mild. You could add some salsa macha or hot sauce to spice it up.

We tried this recipe tonight and unfortunately found it very bland. I used 4 chillis and blended three into the soup- still no flavour. We don’t have strong spice tolerance but there was just no taste in the soup at all! I used Tajin guajillo dried chillis so perhaps these are very, very mild? Would welcome any advice on how I can get the rest of the soup to taste good as we made a huge batch!

Just one note: Even though in Mexican Spanish it’s pronounced “posole”, the name of the dish is written Pozole. If you want to be as authentic as you can and honor the recipes of a country other than your own I suggest the best way to start is by calling it by its correct name instead of an Americanized version of it.

In reply to Jan. Thank you for the suggestion of just using chili powder--that's a perfect idea for me!

I made this, while in Mexico, and I have to save I don’t miss the meat. Instead of guajillo chiles I used ancho, removed the skins after removing them from the soup, chopped them up and added them back. I used dried pinto beans and used the bean broth as my veggie stock. Topped with Mexican cream, radishes and sliced lettuce – mm mmm good. Delicious and definitely a keeper. Thank you for this vegetarian ve3rsion.

I pureed the guajillos after cooking for extra flavor and kick! We all liked it very much. This is great for a crowd, just double the recipe and maybe reduce the water a little bit.

I would give this recipe 7 out of five stars if I could. It was soooo good and my husband loved it requesting I save this recipe. It is full of flavor and so easy to make. I added a little bit of medium salsa with the tomato sauce and that added a little kick. We like really spicy so will add some of the seeds from the pepper next time or add some jalapeño. I did add the red bell pepper as suggested for more flavor and it was delightful. Thank you for this recipe!!!

I made this using 4 Guajillos and used red kidney beans (I didn’t have pinto) and this turned out wonderfully! Yum!
