Questions

What should Pork and Hominy Soup look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 6: cook until pork shoulder reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F and is tender. A reading of 145 F on a thermometer settles it.

How hot is Pork and Hominy Soup?

Only mildly. The heat in Pork and Hominy Soup comes from 1 tbsp chili powder. For a milder plate, halve the chili powder; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Is Pork and Hominy Soup gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Pork and Hominy Soup is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the broth.

How much protein is in Pork and Hominy Soup?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) has 28 g of protein in about 380 calories, alongside 24 g carbohydrate and 18 g fat, plus 5 g fiber and 680 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein soup collection.
