This is one of my very favorite soups. I always make it for my extremely picky dad when I visit. He loves it, too! I always use corn when I make it since I don't like hominy. It freezes well also. Ingredients:
12 ounces lean boneless pork |
1 tablespoon cooking oil |
1 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 cups chicken broth, about 2 cans |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
2 teaspoons crushed dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can yellow hominy, drained or 10 ounces frozen whole kernel corn, thawed |
1 cup sliced carrot |
shredded monterey jack cheese (optional) |
