• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut one half of the onion into 3 pieces.
• In a large soup pot, place onion pieces and chicken into broth and boil gently for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Skim off and discard any foam that rises to top of cooking liquid.
• Remove chicken and let cool enough to handle safely. Remove pieces of onion from broth and discard them. Shred or chop chicken into pieces that can fit onto a soup spoon. Discard any bones, fat, or cartilage.
• Return chicken to broth and add garlic and cumin.
• Empty hominy into a strainer. Rinse under running water, then drain.
• Add hominy, salt, and epazote (if using) to broth. (Although epazote is optional, use it if you can, as it adds a wonderful rustic note to the soup.)
• Allow broth to boil gently for 20 to 30 minutes so flavors can meld.
• To prepare garnishes, cut cabbage into chunks that are no bigger than 2 or 3 inches. Shred each chunk with a grater or cut with a sharp knife into thin slices. "Fluff" the shredded cabbage with your fingers so that the slices separate from one another. Place cabbage into a serving bowl.

• Before serving pozole, taste and add more salt, if necessary. Hominy dishes often need more salt than you would think.
