Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 9 servings

  • 1 pound dry lima beans

  • 4 cups water

  • 5 carrots, chopped

  • 1 leek, bulb only, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 4 cubes vegetable bouillon

  • 8 cups water

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add dry lima beans, and boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow the beans to sit, covered, for 1 to 2 hours to soften. Drain and rinse until water runs clear, discarding bean water.

  2. In a soup pot, saute vegetables in olive oil until onions and celery are translucent. Add lima beans, and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. In the meantime, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the vegetable bouillon to the boiling water, and stir until dissolved. Add broth to the sauteed vegetables and beans. Add remaining water, and allow soup to simmer over a low flame for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve steaming hot.
