Spicy Sausage Soup with Hominy

Submitted by TiaGem

"This soup comes together quickly b/c most of the ingredients are canned. It is slightly spicy but you can make it spicier by using hot italian sausage if you desire. If you have never had hominy, this is a good way to try it. It is an interesting addition to soup and has a distinct flavor."

A very nice foundation for soup made with stuff one is likely to have in one's pantry/freezer. Thought it needed a couple of additions to perk up the flavor, though; I tossed in a large pinch of cumin and the juice of one lime as well as a little salsa (verde was what I had on hand) and a pinch of cayenne. Served with some rolls for dunking, it made for a nice one-pot supper on a chilly early Spring evening.
