Three Sisters Soup is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Sunday Funday. We post weekly on varying topics. This week we’re featuring squash recipes. Glad you could join us!
I put together a recipe for soup using corn, squash and beans which are known as the three sisters. These crops are commonly grown together for the complementary qualities in helping each grow. It had been a growing practice for native American cultures for ages.
Since each is harvested generally together, they are perfect together in a tasty soup.
