Last fall, local Abenaki scholar and tribe member Fred Wiseman, Abenaki Chef Jessee Lawyer, and Shelburne Farms Executive Chef Emeritus Jim McCarthy teamed up to prepare a Three Sisters soup that incorporated traditional ingredients important to the Abenaki.

🌱Three Sisters Soup🌱
68oz or 8.5C chicken broth
1 large winter squash cut into cubes*
4C corn
4C pre-cooked beans*
1 large diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
2T tomato paste
1T olive oil
1T butter
3T celery flakes
1t allspice
1t chili powder
Sea salt and black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Soak the beans overnight. Drain in the morning, rinse, and put in a pot. Fill the pot with fresh water, approximately two inches above the level of the beans. Bring to a boil and then let gently simmer until beans are tender. Reserve the bean water.
In a separate pot, sauté the onions, garlic, corn, and squash. Add allspice, celery flakes, chili powder, plus remaining ingredients along with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken broth plus three cups of reserved bean water. Cover and slow simmer for two hours. Add the cooked beans once they are cooked and tender. Stir and season to taste as the soup cooks.
Optional: Use a hand blender to slightly thicken the soup once the squash is cooked.
