- Note:.
- Dried corn may be cooked in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes at about 15 lb. pressure.
- Phil's notes: An Old Smoky Ham soup base may be used in place of the salt pork. Please when dealing with the chilie pods make sure you don't touch your eyes. Wash your hands first and if for some reason you are cutting them, you might need a second washing to get rid of the burn. Note with the Old Smoky Ham base I also used Copes Toasted Dried Corn.
SIMPLER POSOLE, NAVAJO (HOMINY PORK STEW)
There are several Posole recipes here, and this particular Navajo Posole can be found 2 or 3 places on the net as well as in Spirit of the Harvest: North American Indian Cooking. But me and my family have enjoyed this recipe so much that I wanted to be able to share this with others on RecipeZaar. We usually serve this with white flour tortilias. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do. As a note we use canned hominy since blue dried posole(dried whole hominy) is not easily available to us. We have also easily adapted this to a crockpot. This recipe is from Marilyn Yazzie, Navajo, Tsenjikini (honeycombed rock) mother's clan, Tachiinnii (Red runs into the water) Father's clan. She favors using only fresh chiles, and likes it hot. She uses lean pork and no salt, for health reasons. If you're not so sure about fiery southwestern foods, use only 1 jalapeno, or use only mild green chiles, instead of jalapenos.Prep time varies depending on whether or not dried hominy is used.

MOHAWK INDIAN CORN SOUP
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.

Tips:
- To rehydrate dried corn, soak it in warm water for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will help to soften the corn and make it more digestible.
- If you don't have hominy, you can use dried corn kernels instead. Just soak them overnight and then cook them in the soup until they are tender.
- You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery. Just be sure to cook them until they are tender.
- If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. Just mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until it forms a smooth paste. Then stir it into the soup and bring it to a boil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a side of Navajo fry bread.

Navajo dried corn soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new soup recipe, give Navajo dried corn soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
