I have been looking at Posole recipes and they look great. But I remember eating hominy once when I was younger and I didn't care for it. Maybe I should try again. Anyway, I would use corn and be fine with it. I dont really care if it is not "posole" I also think something like chickpeas (which I love) would be good too
I know this isn't helpful, but without hominy it is not posole. So just use whatever sounds good. Corn tastes radically different, but you could definitely easily end up with a tasty soup all the same.
Hominy is a form of preserved corn, so if you don't have any, feel free to substitute fresh or frozen corn. It's not the same flavor/texture/taste, but it's in the same family. Since I prefer corn to hominy, I often choose this substitution myself.
