The Iroquois Indians cultivated and used the Three Sisters (corn, squash, and beans) in their diet. This soup recipe is passed down by our relatives. You may use regular corn instead of hominy, but hominy is more traditional.

- 2 cups fresh green beans , trimmed and snapped
- 2 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
- 1.5 cups diced peeled potatoes
- 5 cups water

Yakamein (New Orleans-Style Noodle Soup)
This is my take on yakamein (New Orleans-style noodle soup) that's famous only locally, but is one soup you'll want to know about. Known in New Orleans as a very effective hangover cure—its nickname is Old Sober—it is also a beautifully comforting and delicious thing to eat.
