Three Sisters Soup

Submitted by Feeding my Family

"I got this recipe from Susie Fishbein's Kosher by Design Lightens up. I made some minor changes to accommodate my low-carb diet, but keeping everyone else in the family happy. By using corn on the cob, it is easy for me to forego the corn, while everyone else doesn't have to miss out."

Made this for a Native Indian ethnic dinner & it was received well. Few slight changes, I cut the cayenne back & used more cumin. Sub'd vegy stock for water & used some homemade vegy tomato paste for flavour cause I just had regular tomatoes. Used regular corn & at the end sprinkled with abit of garlic powder with the salt & pepper. Next time I'll try it in the pressure cooker. Tasty dish, thanks for sharing.
