directions

  • Soak lima beans in cold water overnight.
  • Drain the lima beans and rinse in several changes of water to float away as many loosened shells as possible.
  • Place beans in crock pot with 8 cups fresh water, the chopped onion, carrot, garlic and bouillon cube.
  • Cover tightly and cook 18 to 24 hours, until beans are very tender.
  • Remove from heat and let cool a little.
  • In the meantime, heat the butter in a skillet and saute the finely diced onion until it is very brown.
  • Ladle a small amount of soup at a time into blender or bowl of a food processor and puree until all soup is pureed.
  • Return to pot and stir in browned onions.
  • Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

  1. Excellent vegetarian soup recipe that couldn't be easier. Although I didn't puree the soup and added 3 cut-up carrots during the last 3 hours of cooking it was done in about 12 hours on high in a 6-quart crockpot. We served this delicious soup with Sahara's Lowfat Honey Buttermilk Rolls recipe#54544 for a great middle-of-the week vegetarian meal. Thanks Dancer for posting another winner.
     
  2. JUST WONDERFUL. WOW!!!
     
  3. I did not puree it but enjoyed the creaminess of the whole beans. It has a very subtle flavor that took me a few spoonfuls to get into but I really enjoyed it after that. It is very comforting and light. The easiness alone will bring me back to it!
     
  4. Even Dh went back for seconds - very unusual for him where bean soup is concerned. I put the crockpot on high and the beans were done in about 10 hours. The added onions are the perfect finish.
