Truly OUTSTANDING! I used canned beans, because I didn't plan ahead to use dried, otherwise no changes. My BF thought that adding vinegar would be nice, so I also added a few splashes (as did he) but no more. Didn't need it, was really quite great! Served with a veggie protein substitute instead of bread. Would make this again for sure! Thanks for a great meal!

About This Recipe

Three Sisters Soup

"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.
