Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Combine the pork, 4 cups of the water, the onion, cilantro sprigs, 3 of the garlic cloves, and the bay leaves in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, until the meat is fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
-
Remove the Dutch oven from the heat. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Strain the cooking liquid from the Dutch oven and reserve 3 cups. Discard the rest.
-
Place the tomatillos, chiles, remaining 1 cup of water, and remaining 3 garlic cloves in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the tomatillos are tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
-
Transfer the tomatillo mixture and chopped cilantro to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Transfer to the Dutch oven. Add the shredded pork, the reserved 3 cups of cooking liquid, hominy, and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are blended, about 20 minutes.
-
Ladle the soup into 6 bowls. Top each bowl with a few radish slices and a lime wedge.
