DAD'S LIMA BEAN SOUP WITH HAM BONE
This was one of my father's favorite dishes, a staple of Depression-era cooking when fresh meat was scarce and soup stretched everything. Simmered until thick, with chunks of ham - even lima-bean-haters enjoy this hearty soup.

BABY LIMA BEAN SOUP
I had a meaty ham bone...and wanted a hearty stick to your ribs kind of meal. And this is what I came up with. It turned out so tasty...I have to share it. The baby lima beans cook up fast, I didn't even pre-soak them. But if you want...sure go ahead. Total time was 3 1/2 hours...and wow...its even better the next day. All the flavors blend in that time. I hope you give it a try, if your a bean soup person...this is a must.

ITALIAN WHITE-BEAN-AND-MUSTARD-GREENS SOUP
Mustard greens have a sharp, radishy bite that's delicious in a bean soup, but, if you like, you can substitute kale or collards. Smaller white beans such as cannellini can be used in place of giant white beans.

Steps:
- Place beans in a large bowl, cover with 2 inches cold water; let soak overnight at room temperature. Drain and rinse beans. (Or quick-soak them: Boil beans 1 minute, then let them sit off heat, covered, 1 hour.)
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and greens to pot, and cook, stirring frequently, until greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Tie together thyme, parsley, and bay leaves with kitchen twine, and add to pot along with beans, Parmesan rind, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to oven, and braise 1 hour.
- Remove from oven, and stir in 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover, return to oven, and braise until beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

BABY LIMA BEAN SOUP
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...

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.
Tips:
- To save time, use frozen baby lima beans, mustard greens, and peas instead of fresh ones.
- If you don't have any mustard greens, you can substitute kale or collard greens.
- To make the soup vegan, omit the ham hock and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Serve the soup with a side of cornbread or crackers.

This baby lima bean soup with mustard greens, peas, and onions is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover ham or bacon.
