Mexican Pork Soup image

This is one of my very favorite soups. I always make it for my extremely picky dad when I visit. He loves it, too! I always use corn when I make it since I don't like hominy. It freezes well also.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup didn't turn out very good. The flavors were bland and the pork was tough.
