MOHAWK INDIAN CORN SOUP

Mohawk Indian Corn Soup image

On the Akwesasne Reservation where I grew up I have fond memories of corn soup always being on the stove on New Year's Eve. Friends and family would stop in and have a bowl or two and celebrate the end of the year. I continue this tradition with my own family now. Use canned Indian corn instead of hominy if available.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 ¾ pounds pork loin fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
6 cups water
3 cubes beef bouillon
3 cubes chicken bouillon
3 cups cubed rutabaga
2 cups chopped carrots
2 cups chopped celery
2 (15.5 ounce) cans canned hominy, drained

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir pork in hot oil until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes.
Stir water, beef bouillon, and chicken bouillon together in a large pot over medium-high heat until bouillon dissolves. Add pork, rutabaga, carrots, and celery; bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until vegetables tender, about 40 minutes.
