Ingredients: 1/4 pound bulk pork sausage; 1 teaspoon cumin seeds; 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth; 3/4 cup canned hominy, rinsed and drained; 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

“I developed this subtle soup as a starter for a Southwest-style lunch. I serve it with cheese nachos and follow up with chicken or beef taco salad,” says Jessie Gunn Stephens of Sherman, Texas.

Ingredients

1/4 pound bulk pork sausage
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup canned hominy, rinsed and drained
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped jalapeno pepper
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Directions

Crumble sausage into a small skillet. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until no longer pink; drain. In a small saucepan, toast cumin seeds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Add coriander and cayenne; cook and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the broth, hominy, jalapeno, pepper and sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Stir in cilantro.
