This is delicious! I didn't have any TVP so I used some frozen sausage-style vegetarian burger crumbles and reduced the water. Also left out the cilantro 'cause I don't like it. The hominy has such a wonderful texture that works really well in this soup. I served it with homemade vegan cornbread and it made for a rich, spicy, hearty meal. I will definitely make this again.

<p>I used to live on the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast in the loveliest little town you could imagine. I worked at Bookends, an independent bookstore, several days a week, and on the weekends I ran Karaoke at a local bar. Everything changed on August 29, 2005 when Hurricane Katrina destroyed our homes and our community. Now we are in Fayetteville GA, just south of Atlanta, and it seems this will be our home for now. Our grandson, Simon, is twelve now, and his baby sister, Anise, is five. We live with them and my wonderful daughter and son-in-law, Bahiyyih and Jeff. My other daughter, Alicein, has a beautiful five year old boy named Ronan. She owns what was the first new business in Old Town Bay St. Louis after the hurricane. It's called The Mockingbird Cafe. Life goes on! <br /> <br />Judging by the feedback. the most popular recipe I've posted in the one for Steel-cut Oats. I'm very gratified by the rave reviews I have had for this. Thanks to Alton Brown for originating it!</p>
