Easy Pork Posole

Submitted by lecole54

"I've made a number of posoles over the years; this is a new favorite. I really like the addition of cornmeal as a thickener, which also gives the finished product an extra helping of "corniness." On the table can include extra lime wedges and chopped cilantro, thinly-sliced radishes, and shredded cabbage. From allrecipes.com"
