Place back in microwave and reheat until hot. Note: If finished posole comes out with too much fat on top, you might want to let it all cool down then chill and skim the fat off the surface and re-heat before serving. It all depends on how much fat the pork had which you used.

This quick and easy-to-prepare posole comes out amazingly well considering how little time is spent in preparation. The only downside is possible greasiness if the pork has much fat on it. I suggest chilling it first in the refrigerator, then removing fat before serving it if you don't do well with posole that has visible fat on top of it. This soup is also delicious served with warm tortillas, corn or flour.
