This Dried Corn Soup recipe will help you use up your excess garden produce.

2 cups dried corn
1/4 pound lean salt pork
2 medium onions, chopped fine
Pepper, to taste
1 quart milk 

Soak corn overnight in enough salt water to cover. In the morning, simmer corn in that same water until kernels are tender, adding a little water if needed. Dice salt pork and fry in skillet until golden brown. Add onions and pepper. Add corn; then add milk and heat until good and hot. An old-time recipe.
