Best Three Sisters Soup Recipes
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.

THREE SISTERS SOUP
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.
