Variations:
*Canned or frozen vegetables can be used in place of fresh – simply skip steps 3-5 and continue as follows: Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add meat, hominy, and dried herbs and cook until herbs are fragrant, about 1 minute. Add broth, cooked wild rice, and vegetables (drained and rinsed if canned). Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
*Use corn to replace hominy. Brown rice or barley can replace the wild rice. Cubed butternut squash can replace carrots. Mushrooms can be replaced with canned beans that have been drained and rinsed.
*Stir in canned sweet potato puree to thicken soup.
