Spicy soup for the hacking lungs




I have so many friends who are hacking up lungs right now with various forms of the crud. So here is a recipe for a remedy to try. It's less popular than chicken soup, but I think it's more effective.


New Mexican Posole
1 3-lb. pork loin
64 oz. hominy, drained
1 large onion, diced
2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. thyme
2 TB salt
1 tsp. black pepper
16 oz. canned green chiles, chopped

Boil the pork loin in water until it's tender. Cool it and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Put the hominy in a really big pot with 2 quarts of water. Add pork, onions and seasonings and simmer 1 hour.
Add green chiles and simmer for 1 hour.
