Green Corn Soup
Tribe: Cherokee
Directions
Green Corn soup was also made for Green Corn Ceremony using corn in
the "milk" stage, also with wild onions.
Chop up a whole onion, and one or two green onions as well as one or
two sprouted garlic cloves.
The garlic, gives it a touch of the flavor of wild onions, which are
as much garlic as onion in flavor.
Cook in oil in a large pot. While that is cooking, peel and dice some
potatoes. If using "new potatoes", scrub them and leave the skins on.
Throw in the pot with the onions and cook it all until the onion is
transparent.
If the potatoes brown a little, all the better.
Just barely cover with clear chicken broth and cook, covered, until
the potatoes are done. Add a dash of milk, salt and pepper to taste,
and a big pat of butter.
Serve with fry bread on the side and you have a very filling meal
that is really healthy.
