Once the meat is cooked – Preheat the broiler of the oven.

Place remaining garlic, tomatoes, tomatillos, and chilies on a baking pan – drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.

Place the baking pan under the broiler just until the veggies start to char – about 7-8 minutes.
Set aside to cool while assembling the remaining ingredients. Turn oven down to about 350 degrees

Take the pork out of the stock and shred meat with a fork – return to stock.
Add the hominy to the stock.

Put the cooled vegetables in a blender and blend until smooth – add mixture to stock.
Stir to combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes.

While the soup simmers, arrange the strips of corn tortillas on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven about 10 minutes until they are slightly crispy.

Serve soup with tortilla chips and garnish with lime wedges, sliced radishes or chopped onions.
