Dad's Lima Bean Soup with Ham Bone image

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.

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



Italian White-Bean-and-Mustard-Greens Soup image

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 10h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound dried giant white beans, such as gigante, Corona, or lima
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 onion, finely chopped (1 1/4 cups)
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds mustard greens, washed well and stems removed, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick strips
5 thyme sprigs
5 flat-leaf parsley sprigs
2 bay leaves
1 Parmesan cheese rind (about 1 by 4 inches; optional), plus freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
2 quarts water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup farro

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.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add farro, and cook until grains are tender and begin to split, about 25 minutes. Drain.
  • Divide farro among 6 bowls, and ladle soup over farro. Sprinkle with Parmesan, and drizzle with oil. Soup and farro can be refrigerated in separate containers 2 days; let cool completely before refrigerating. Gently reheat together in a covered pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

BABY LIMA BEAN SOUP



Baby Lima Bean Soup image

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...

Categories     Bean Soups

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

SOAK BEANS OVERNIGHT
1 lb baby lima beans, dried
8 - 10 c water to cover
COOK BABY LIMA BEAN SOUP NEXT DAY
water to cover
4 c vegetable broth
1 medium onion, diced
4 - 5 medium carrots, diced
1 medium meaty ham bone
1 medium sized piece of ham, you'll dice later
2 - 3 clove garlic,minced
1 tsp celery salt
1 Tbsp dried celery flakes
salt & pepper

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.

Conclusion:

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.
