Instructions
- Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes. Then chop the onions and mince the garlic.
- Set a large 6-8 quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add in the pork pieces. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt and ½ teaspoon of white pepper over the pork. Sear the pork chunks until they are golden-brown around the edges, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the onions and garlic to the pot and continue to sear until the onions have softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in the water. Then add the oregano and cumin. Cover the pot and bring it to a rolling simmer. Lower the heat if needed and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes, until the pork pieces are fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, drain the cans of hominy and rinse well. Then chop the fresh produce for the garnishes.
- Once the pork is very soft, add the hominy to the pot. Stir well and simmer another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Taste, then add salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cool toppings.
Notes
- This is a great make-ahead meal! Simply keep the garnishes on the side until ready to serve.
- Let the soup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
