Menudo with Hominy Beans recipe

This recipe reminds me a Japanese style soup because of kombu (kelp or seaweed). It's a nice change from my normal chicken broth and cream based squash soup. This one has a much cleaner taste, and really highlights the flavor of each ingredient.

It definitely warmed me up instantly, a perfect dinner on a cold winter day. I used beef stock to increase the depth of flavour, and it certainly did the job. The soup was very tasty and loaded with nutrients from barley and beans. Made a large pot, and froze the remaining soup.
