Hi all,
I'm a pilot and search the cities I visit for veggie restaurants and then write a review. Lately I've started to add pictures. Here's my blog. Let me know what you think.
Thanks

I know... this is not a hot soup kind of season, but hey... Three Sisters
Soup is my favorite and I can't find an authentic version online. Three
Sisters Soup should combine squash (usually zucchini), corn, and green
(string) beans, not the junk I keep finding online. I buy it every year at the
Native American Pow Wow near me in early June, but I'd really like to be able
to make it myself. Do any of you have an authentic recipe for it? These
are what I found online... and they're not right!
Three Sisters Soup
Recipe By : http://www.drmirkin.com
Serving Size : 6
3 pounds winter squash (such as acorn or hubbard) or pie pumpkin
3 small onions -- chopped
3 cups bouillon
3 teaspoons mild chili powder
3 cans cannelini or other white beans -- (16-19 oz.) undrained
3 cups fresh or frozen lima beans
3 cups frozen corn kernels
3 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions for garnish
Preheat oven to 400. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Cut the
winter squash in half, remove the seeds and lay it on the cookie sheet, cut
sides down. Bake the squash for 30-45 minutes, or until the flesh is soft
enough to scoop out with a spoon.
Meanwhile, bring 1/2 cup of the bouillon to a boil, add the onions and cook
5- 10 minutes. Stir in the rest of the bouillon, the Southwestern Spice
Blend and the white beans. Simmer gently until the squash is ready. Scoop the
soft squash flesh out of the shells and stir it into the soup. Mash the
beans and squash slightly to thicken the soup. (You can puree it in a blender
if you want a really smooth consistency.) Add the lima beans and simmer 10
minutes or until the beans are tender. Stir in the corn, ladle the soup
into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped chives or green onions.6-8

Congratulations, Dear Dragon...
However, I'm new to this group. What is thyroxine? It sounds like a
thyroid supplement. I take synthroid. Is this similar?

Finally got the rest of the results back on Tuesday , cholesterol absolutely perfect (up yours
the dietician who was horrified that I didn't eat Flora or some such
but actually had butter and full fat cheese and mayonnaise! ) and diabetes - nope! blood sugars are bang
on as well - so the docs are really pleased that
they only have one thing to get right which is the thyroxine , so now I just need to get the dosage
right and then hopefully I can start shifting some of this blubber

Thanks Marie
I am so glad I only have the thyroid to sort out - hopefully that WILL be soon and then I can start shifting this weight! I still doubt that I will be any slimmer by the time we meet up again!

Hi Dragon,
That's great news about the cholesterol and diabetes tests. What a relief that must be. Even though you were fairly sure before the tests that the results would be OK, it is nice to have it confirmed. Good luck with getting the thyroxine sorted and it will be all systems go.
Cheers from Marie
