Lightened chicken pozole
Pozole built on breast meat instead of fatty pork, with the broth skimmed. The cabbage, onion and lime garnishes go on without measuring — that volume is free.

The detail that matters
Chill the broth for a few hours and lift off the fat that solidifies on top. That's 100 to 150 calories gone without touching the flavour.
