It is often garnished with shredded cabbage, radishes, avocado, and a squeeze of lime for a burst of freshness. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have popularized their own versions of this beloved dish, while regions like Jalisco and Guerrero are known for their unique takes on Chicken Posole. For an authentic experience, visit Mexico City or Oaxaca to savor the best versions of this comforting soup.
