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:

  • Use fresh corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best for this soup, but you can also use frozen corn kernels if you don't have fresh corn available.
  • Roast the corn. Roasting the corn before adding it to the soup gives it a slightly smoky flavor that adds depth to the soup.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This recipe calls for onion, celery, and carrots, but you can add other vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, zucchini, or green beans.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or a combination of the two.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
