Peel and dice up potatoes, carrots, onions, celery. Cook in large pot until tender. Add corn beef diced up in 1 inch cubes, add corn and green beans. Enjoy!
NOTE: This stew can be made with other types of meat or without meat. Corn beef , can be substituted with fish, salmon, what ever is handy, to feed your large family. It's very filling. I passed this recipe to my children.

Hominy Stew-Cherokee-Guest Recipe Debra
4 cans hominy (yellow or white)
4 packages of brown gravy mix
1 or 2 lbs of hot sausage
1 small onion
Crumble and cook the sausage until done, drain and rinse the meat.
Combine the cooked meat and the entire contents of the canned hominy to the pot and stir in the brown gravy mixes. Chop the onions and add to the mixture. Cook until the onions are soft. Add some water if the gravy gets too thick. Serve with fry bread (SEE FRY BREAD RECIPES)
Place all ingredients into a large soup pot and simmer slowly over medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally
Cherokee Pepper Pot Soup
1 lb. venison or beef short ribs or shanks
2 qt. water
2 lg. onions, quartered
2 ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
1lg. sweet bell pepper, seeded and diced
1C. fresh or frozen okra
1/2 C. diced potatoes
1/2 C. sliced carrots
1/2 C. fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/4 C. chopped celery
Salt and ground pepper to taste
Put meat, water, and onions in a heavy soup kettle. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours. Remove meat, let cool, then discard bones; return meat to pot. Stir in remaining vegetables and simmer, partially covered for 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper. Serves 4 to 6.
Clean and dip clover flowers and leaves in cold salted water. Remove and cut into pieces.
In a large saucepan, sauté flowers, leaves, and chopped onion in butter. After all have softened, add water, then potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Cook gently for 20 minutes.
Drain the cooking liquid and save it. Puree the potato/clover/onion mixture, then add the reserved cooking liquid, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and sprinkle with grated cheese.
For the amount of soup you want to make, take stew size beef chunks from the store and cut them in half. Optional: Use lean ground beef (80%+) in place of beef chunks; avoid fatty ground beef. You want a good, strong beef flavored broth or the corn soup will be sweet flavored from the corn.
Boil water for the amount of soup you want to prepare.
When water is at the boiling point, drop in the determined quantity of half-sized beef chunks of meat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Boil the meat until the broth has a brownish color to it. (Meat may be tender when the broth is light but for the real meat and corn flavor, it should be cooked until the broth is brownish.) Optional: While the meat is boiling, add the raw onions and raw potatoes if you choose.
After the broth has reached the brownish color, add the quantity of dried corn you wish to cook. Cook for 30-45 minutes until soft and tender. The dried corn will absorb the beef flavor as it cooks. For more of a taste of eating dried corn, cook the corn about 30 minutes; corn will have more firmness to it. Optional: If your potatoes are already boiled, add them in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking the corn.
Serve Corn Soup soupy as a meal or drain the soup and serve corn and beef as a side dish.
