This rustic Iroquois-inspired soup, often called u’nega’gei, is a comforting bowl of history. Featuring tender haddock fillets, baby lima beans, and earthy mushrooms, it is thickened naturally with yellow cornmeal to create a rich, stew-like consistency. The flavor profile is savory and subtle, enhanced by aromatic garlic, fresh basil, and a splash of dry sherry. It is a perfect weeknight dinner that feels both nourishing and authentic, evoking the simple, abundant cooking of early Native American tribes. Serve it hot with crusty bread for a satisfying meal that warms the soul.
