NOTHIN' MUCH LIMA BEAN SOUP
Want a new, great-tasting bean soup? Well, here you go -- cheap, very easy to prepare, fairly quick, and hearty flavor. This is bean soup that will stick to your ribs. I worked on this one for quite awhile and I think it's about a good as it's ever going to be -- everyone here at home likes it anyway and it's a great new way to prepare lima beans. The name? When I'm sneaking around, cooking something really good like this soup, the smell inevitably draws the curious into my kitchen and they always say, "Whatcha cookin'?" And I always respond, "Nothin' much." And then I make them wait to find out!

DAD'S LIMA BEAN SOUP WITH HAM BONE
This was one of my father's favorite dishes, a staple of Depression-era cooking when fresh meat was scarce and soup stretched everything. Simmered until thick, with chunks of ham - even lima-bean-haters enjoy this hearty soup.

LIMA BEAN SOUP
This soup really doesn't taste like lima beans at all, so don't let it's name scare you off.It's a delicious thick soup similar to pea soup and an old family favorite (especially during the winter). I come from a large family and we need to make one large pot of soup for dinner (hopefully with leftovers). It should be renamed though to "clog your arteries soup"

BEST LIMA BEAN SOUP - ESPECIALLY WINTERTIME!
Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like.

Steps:
- 1. Rinse lima beans and place in water along with quartered onions, carrots, and celery in pot or dutch oven.
- 2. Bring mix to a boil over medium heat.
- 3. When mix begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for an hour.
- 4. Add the two grated potatoes and simmer for an additional half hour.
- 5. Add the balance of the potatoes along with the golden brown bacon (nix the bacon drippings unless you don't mind the fat and extra calories).
- 6. (Optional) Add one cup of grated cauliflower or one cup of flour for thicker broth, if desired.
- 7. Let simmer for an additional half hour, then add four cups of diced tomatoes (canned will do) for flavor and a bit of color, two bay leaves, 3/4 T thyme, 3/4 T paprika, 2 T lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and favorite flavorful hot sauce (optional).
- 8. Either continue to simmer for three to four additional hours until done, stirring often and/or adding additional water to avoid burning the ever-thickening mix, or remove contents from heat and transfer to 7-qt. or 8-qt. crock-pot to finish soup at low setting for five to six hours till finished.
- Add additional warm water prior to serving if somewhat thinner consistency desired. Okay to refrigerate broth overnight and then transfer to crock-pot next morning, with a little extra water, if needed, to finish soup at low setting for six to seven hours, but wait until then to add lemon juice. Some think this soup is a bit bland, but avoid over-seasoning while cooking and just let each person season to taste. Goes great with corn bread or a multi-grain muffin or roll. An ale really compliments the overall taste.

Steps:
- Place the drained lima beans into your cooker, and add the onion and garlic.
- Dump in the tomatoes, then rinse the can into the pot.
- Add paprika, and stir in the sausage. Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beans are fully soft.
- Use a handheld immersion blender to naturally thicken the broth by blending some of the beans and tomatoes. This also helps distribute the flavor and squish up the garlic cloves. If you don't have a handheld blender, you can scoop out a cup or so of the beans and smash them with a large fork or blend in a traditional blender, then stir them back into the pot.
- Add salt and serve.
