Posole is a traditional corn soup that's easy to modify to use whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Ingredients

  • "Glass Gem" corn (1 cup dry corn per serving)
  • 2 tablespoons pickling lime for each cup of corn
  • Veggie broth
  • Powdered garlic (Mer-Girl Gardens variety, if available), to taste
  • Red chili powder, to taste
  • Oregano, to taste
  • 5 medium portobello mushroom caps (per serving), cut into small cubes
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  • Lime the corn by mixing the dry corn and pickling lime and water (enough to cover the corn with a couple of inches). Simmer for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and rinse the corn very well to flush the lime.
  • Put the corn back on the fire. Add veggie broth to cover the corn by 3-4 inches.
  • Add Mer-Girl Gardens powdered garlic, red chili powder, and oregano to taste.
  • Add cubed mushrooms.
  • Slow cook for 20-24 hours. Salt to taste and enjoy.
