Title: Mohawk Corn Soup
Categories: Amerind Corn Soup Pork Bean
Yield: 1 Servings

1	l	(4 cups) lyed white corn or
		Canned white hominy
300	ml	White navy beans
1	kg	(2 lb) side pork or
1/2	kg	Side pork and salt pork
		Each
		Salt and pepper to taste

Place the beans in a pot. If using canned white hominy corn, rinse corn several times to remove excess salt. Cover beans with 2 inches (5 cm) water and soak overnight. In the morning cook the beans and corn in the same water until tender. Set aside. Cut up pork into small ¼ inch (1/2 cm) pieces. Place meat in a soup pot and cover with 2 inches (5 cm) of water and bring to a complete boil. Reduce heat and continue to simmer in a covered put for 2 hours or until meat is tender. Drain meat, saving the broth in a separate container. Place both meat and broth in the refrigerator until cool. Skim off fat from the broth. Add meat and broth to the beans. (For thicker soup, mash half of the beans before adding the meat and broth.) Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a mild boil and serve. 6-8 servings.
