Baby Lima Bean Soup image

This is one of my favorite soups & I especially loved to order a bowl of it at my Aunt Linda's restaurant named after her husband Monty. I am a purist when it comes to Baby Lima Bean Soup and don't like to make it fancy but to keep it simple just like Monty's. I do add a few more seasonings for flavor but that's all. It's...

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

SOAK BEANS OVERNIGHT
1 lb baby lima beans, dried
8 - 10 c water to cover
COOK BABY LIMA BEAN SOUP NEXT DAY
water to cover
4 c vegetable broth
1 medium onion, diced
4 - 5 medium carrots, diced
1 medium meaty ham bone
1 medium sized piece of ham, you'll dice later
2 - 3 clove garlic,minced
1 tsp celery salt
1 Tbsp dried celery flakes
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Sort and rinse beans before soaking. Then place in a medium sized bowl the sorted beans and 7-8 cups of water.
  • 2. Let them soak overnight.
  • 3. Drain and rinse the baby lima beans.
  • 4. Add to your cooking pan/pot, Ninja Cooking System or crockpot.
  • 5. Add your vegetable broth, carrots, onions, garlic and the rest of the ingredients. Add water to cover ham bone. You'll cook your soup for 3 - 4 hours on a medium heat. Stirring occasionally and checking to see if you need to add any more water.
  • 6. When soup is ready, I take out the ham bone and ham. I dice up the ham in small pieces and place back down in the soup. I usually put the ham bone back into the soup till I'm ready to freeze up what is left over.
