Three Sisters Squash image

The sisters in this recipe are the Native American staples beans, corn and squash, which together offer a delicious main course for vegan diners. It comes from Maria Marlowe, a Times reader in New York, who said that she used the dish to help convince her family that eating vegan didn't have to mean sacrificing flavor.

THREE SISTERS SOUP



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.
