Provided by Carolyn M.

Time 9h

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb lima beans, soaked overnight
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 head about 10 garlic clove, peeled (ok to leave cloves whole)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil
1 (28 ounce) can water (fill empty tomato can with water, then dump into crockpot)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 (12 ounce) package chicken and apple sausage, diced
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Place the drained lima beans into your cooker, and add the onion and garlic.
  • Dump in the tomatoes, then rinse the can into the pot.
  • Add paprika, and stir in the sausage. Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beans are fully soft.
  • Use a handheld immersion blender to naturally thicken the broth by blending some of the beans and tomatoes. This also helps distribute the flavor and squish up the garlic cloves. If you don't have a handheld blender, you can scoop out a cup or so of the beans and smash them with a large fork or blend in a traditional blender, then stir them back into the pot.
  • Add salt and serve.

LIMA BEAN SOUP



Lima Bean Soup image

This soup really doesn't taste like lima beans at all, so don't let it's name scare you off.It's a delicious thick soup similar to pea soup and an old family favorite (especially during the winter). I come from a large family and we need to make one large pot of soup for dinner (hopefully with leftovers). It should be renamed though to "clog your arteries soup"
