Lentils and Hominy

Someone in the family - and I ain't namin' names - got a little over exuberant in the hominy buying department, so I was looking for a way to use up an extra can of white hominy.  I decided to try making lentils and hominy, basically lentil soup with a can of hominy added.  So:

2 cup concentrated chicken broth
2 cup water
1/2 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
2 stalks celery
1 carrot
1 medium potato
1/2 cup dry lentils
1 20 oz can of white hominy
seasoned with salt, black pepper, red pepper, bay leaf, ground mustard - suit yourself

Veg all chopped or diced into the broth, lentils in when it comes to boil, cook 55 minutes or until the lentils are done (you all know how to make lentil soup, right?).

Because there are only 2 of us these days, I made just 1/2 cup of lentils resulting in a low lentil to hominy ratio.  Would be better with everything doubled but still use just one can of hominy, or else buy a smaller can.

Anyway, this turns out to be a really good flavor combination leaving itself open to future exploration of seasonings.  Plus, turns out lentils and hominy are complimentary proteins, so it's very nutritious.
