Directions

1

In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add scallions and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add tomatillos, garlic, oregano, coriander and chili powder and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 minutes.

2

Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, cover, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Add squash and salt and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover partially and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and continue simmering, partially covered, until squash is almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

3

Stir in corn and simmer, partially covered, until all vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and a little more salt if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro if desired.
