Three Sisters Soup

When it comes time for planting your garden remember the traditional Native American planting of the 3 sisters - Corn, Beans & Squash. The corn grows tall, the beans climb up the corn stalks and the squash shades the ground and prevents the weeds from growing up. This soup is wonderful in the summer evenings with zucchini or in the fall with winter squashes. You can make it with whatever seasonings you like but I prefer the southwestern style with cumin and cilantro. I saute' onion and garlic, toss in some cumin and salt and pepper. Add broth with a couple cut up zucchini, corn cut from 4 ears (or 1 bag of frozen), and 2 cans of pinto beans. Bring to a boil, season with Bragg Aminos or tamari, and once the zucchini is tender turn off and add juice of a lime and some fresh chopped cilantro. Yummy yummy yummy in my tummy tummy tummy!
