How To Make three sisters soup

Step 1

Combine the beans and water and soak overnight

Step 2

Drain the beans and rinse. Put them in a kettle and cover with water by a inch. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 min. or until tender, but not mushy. Add more water if necessary.
Step 3

While the beans are cooking, cut the squash and scoop out the seeds. Bake the squash halves, cut side up, in a 375 degree oven for about 45 min. or until tender. Let cool.
Step 4

heat the oil in a stock pot. Add the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until golden, about 10 min. Add the carrots, garlic and celery and cook for 5 to 10 min. Scoop the cooled cooked squash out of the shell. Add to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine, smoothing out any lumps. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the beans, tomatoes, corn, parsley and thyme. Simmer covered for 5 to 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
