    Wish I Could Cook's Note:

    "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.

      YUM! What a great fall weather soup. Even hubby liked it a lot. I think this is restaurant worthy to be honest. . .something a little out of the ordinary, definitely appealing to just about any set of tastebuds I would think, vegan, and so fresh and fabulous. . .but simple at the same time. I am impressed and very happy I made this one. Thanks for posting! UPDATE: So I froze the leftovers and whipped them out the other day - totally freezes and thaws well! And my hubby ate it and said, "Man, this is really good....what is it?" Ummmm, LEFTOVERS :) And hubby is a total food critic, so this is a real compliment!

      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!
