Title: Wes 'n' Kathy's Authentic Original Lima Bean Soup
Categories: Soups, Vegetables
Servings: 6

12 oz Dried (large) lima beans or
-butterbeans
1 Med. onion (chopped)
2 Ribs celery, including tops
1 lg Carrot (diced)
4 c Ham stock
1/4 lb Diced ham
2 c Water
1 Chili pepin (crushed)
2 Cloves garlic (minced)

We invented this yesterday, and are still munching on it. I wanted a plain
plate of butterbeans for my birthday, but Kathy can never do anything 1/2
way.

Salt & black pepper to taste

Place all ingredients except salt and pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat. Cover pot and simmer until beans are VERY tender (3 to 4
hours). Salt & pepper to taste. Serve this with bread & butter, garlic
bread, or dinner rolls. Makes a complete meal. Enjoy!
