Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the rice, water and ½ teaspoon of salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the okra according to the package directions.

  2. Step 2

    Place the chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. When hot, stir in the rice, okra, hominy, jalapeno, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Lower heat.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the cumin seeds, ¼ teaspoon of salt and pepper. Flatten the pork slices with the palm of your hand and coat each slice on both sides with the spice mixture. Brush a medium-size nonstick skillet with the olive oil and place over medium-high heat. When hot, add the pork and cook just until cooked through, about 45 seconds per side. Remove pork from the pan and julienne it.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Top with the pork and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve immediately.

We loved this! It was a bit salty, so will reduce next time, but there will definitely be a next time. New pantry/freezer staple.

Not really a soup. Consistency is like oatmeal but that up is a plus. Phil liked it.
