Here is how you make Lima and white Bean Soup:

makes 12 1-cup servings or 24 1/2-cup servings.(1. Soak limas and white beans overnight; or bring to a boil, turn off heat and cover for an hour.2. While beans are soaking chop the vegetables and ham. Mince the garlic.3. Give beans a good rinse before adding other ingredients; this helps eliminate gas.4. Combine everything in either (crockpot) or stew pot, stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with lid and cook for approx. 3 hours**, stirring now and then to make sure not sticking to bottom of pan.** I am estimating cook time because it will depend on your stove. I have a chef's stove, so things cook quicker than a normal stove (mine actually only took about 2 hrs to cook all the way). Plus, if you are using the crockpot, obviously it will be longer. So, basically, you know your own stove and approx. how long it will take. I'm sorry if the time isn't exactly right. . Number of Servings: 12Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KATHYANNBT.
