Three Sisters Soup
I was goofing around in the kitchen with items coming in from the garden and I made my own interpretation of a Three Sisters Soup. Turned out quite well.
Three Sisters Soup
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
2 cups cubed butternut squash
1 qt vegetable broth.
2 cups green beans, can use frozen
2 cups corn kernels, can use frozen
2 cans Great northern beans
2 tbsp Penzey's Northwoods Blend*
1 tbsp Sage
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. In a large soup pot, add the oil and saute the onions until soft (about 5 mins)
2. Add the butternut squash and spice blend and saute until squash starts to soften, onions should get a little brown.
3. Deglaze with broth and boil squash until just tender. Add water if broth does not cover.
4. Add remaining vegetables and canned beans. I did not rinse and drain beans as I wanted a thicker soup. Let simmer until green beans are tender. Squash should now be soft but not mushy. Using thawed frozen veggies would make this last step a snap!
* Contains: paprika, chipotle pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, rosemary and garlic.
Makes approximately 8 two cup main course servings: 459 Calories, 5g Fat, 58g Carb (net), 26g Protein (complete).

Great Northern beans are just a kind of common white bean. Like Cannellini. They'd be the ones you'd use to make Navy Bean soup or Baked Beans.
