The ingredients for Lima Bean and Cabbage Soup are:

4-5 slices bacon
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 tsp. minced garlic
1 lb. large dried lima beans, rinsed but not pre-soaked
6 cups 99% fat-free chicken broth
Splash of Worcestershire
Tabasco, to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 head of cabbage, chopped
1 pkg. of turkey sausage (one big link -- not ground), sliced

Here is how you make Lima Bean and Cabbage Soup:

Begin by frying bacon in large Dutch oven. As bacon begins to brown, add turkey sausage, and as it starts to brown, add onion and garlic. Saute and stir until veggies are tender. Add washed lima beans and the chicken broth. Splash in a dash of Worcestershire sauce and add a splash of Tabasco (to taste). Also add salt and pepper to taste (Some people you shouldn't salt dried beans before they're tender or they won't get tender. I have NEVER had had that happen to me, and I always add the salt and pepper at the start of the cooking process.) Cook about 2 - 3 hours, or until limas are just tender. As the beans cook, check often, stir and add water if necessary. Just as the beans become tender, add the chopped cabbage and cook about 15-20 minutes more, until cabbage is tender.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KSALDE.
