Three Sisters Soup image

"Three Sisters" refers to the wonderful combination of beans, corn and squash -- foods traditionally grown and consumed together by many American Indian tribes. In the garden, the corn is planted in the center, then the beans surround them and use the stalks as a trellis, then the squash is planted around the base to spread out. This recipe was printed in Natural Home Magazine's Nov/Dec 2009 issue.

  • Salt and pepper to taste.

I've been making this soup for years and it's always a favorite. It's easy to make and the ingredients are readily available. I love that it's a vegetarian soup, but it's still hearty and filling. I usually serve it with a side of cornbread or a gril

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I made a few substitutions (used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and added a can of diced tomatoes) and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this soup again.
