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.

BAKED GIANT WHITE BEANS WITH CABBAGE



Baked Giant White Beans With Cabbage image

This slow-baked bean and cabbage dish is luxurious in both taste and texture. The limas become soft and pillowy after their long, slow simmer, while releasing some of their starch into the bean broth; the cabbage sweetens over time and almost melts into the velvety broth. Baked beans with cabbage traditionally contain a ham bone or some salt pork for flavor, but I get that rich umami flavor with Parmesan rinds.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 pound cabbage, cored and chopped or shredded
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large white beans or dried lima beans
7 cups water
A bouquet garni consisting of 2 Parmesan rinds, 4 parsley sprigs, 2 thyme sprigs and a bay leaf
Salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, ovenproof casserole and add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the cabbage and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted.
  • Add the beans, water, bouquet garni and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven. Bake 1 hour and add the remaining garlic; taste and adjust salt. Return to the oven and bake for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are very tender and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Remove the bouquet garni. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot or warm.

Tips:

  • Soak the lima beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Serve the soup hot with a side of bread or crackers: This will make a hearty and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Lima bean and cabbage soup is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give lima bean and cabbage soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
