Lima Beans and Ham

Lima beans for the round about.

Lima beans (butter beans) are a delicious and healthy way to get protein and fiber in one dish. Adding greens makes it even better! Instead of soaking the beans overnight I prefer the 1-hour "quick soak" method. The prep work can be done easily at the same time.

Lima beans are the foods of the Native Americans. Just a simple recipe from natural places!!

My house smells so heavenly right now. The soup is in the final meld stage of cooking. This is an easy workday soup. Put the beans on when you wake up, turn them down when you leave for work, and add the veggies when you get home.

Grew up with beans. Always a crowd pleaser.

Easy dinner

Delicious with porkchops! :positive

this is my number one comfort food. as I was growing up we would eat these with rice and fried cornbread. my youngest brother never liked them he would get hotdogs or Chef Boyardi Raviolis

Quick easy dinner.

Had some leftover Ham so I decided to make beans with it.

A sweet start with a bite at the end. You will never eat regular ham and bean soup again!

This is a delicious dish that I grew up with as a good side to almost anything that you wish to eat. I hope you enjoy, if you try these out.

#GlobalApron 2024 week 12. Ingredient green beans. I freeze leftover holiday ham bone leaving some ham on it to use when I make this.

Not sure if this is a Pennsylvania Dutch thing or not, but we make this all the time as a way to use up the fresh green beans.

This bean recipe with ham is a true Southern comfort food. It's bursting with flavor galore of smoked paprika, cumin and cayenne pepper. Nothing like having that tender thick perfection on a slice of buttered bread or having a chunk of cornbread to go with it.

Tasty for blended/pureed for stage after gastric surgery - not a lot of protein.

Welcome to 2023! This is my family staple on our first dinner of the new year. Brings luck for the year. Enjoy

Yummy comfort food.

This isn't the most traditional way of making ham and bean soup but still has amazing flavor. I didn't use ham hock, ham shank or bacon which seems to be common. We used a homemade ham stock that we had in the freezer made from the bone of a spiral ham. For the ham chunks I used a combination of leftover ham from a holiday meal and the last bit of the ham I smoked this past summer. If you don't have smoked ham or double smoked in my case you can use a smoked turkey leg and let it simmer in the pot. Or even a drop or two of liquid smoke just to give the extra depth of flavor. Also used the dehydrated onion in place of fresh chopped because it seemed like it would just get lost in there. The only thing I might do differently next time is add spinach or another green to the party.

With Thanksgiving over and LOTS of ham leftover, I thought of ways to get some use out of it without burning out my family with just reheating and serving as is. This is a great soup and a nice change from all the heavy Thanksgiving meals.

when you're on the go like me and don't really have time to prepare dried beans, this is a quick alternative version!

Ham & Bean Soup. (I need better lighting hahah)

I'm researching recipes which incorporate lots of soy beans.If you have dried basil, add about 1 teaspoon during Step 4.This gives it a more Italian taste. You can use sake instead of white whine if you don't have. Adjust the amount of salt to taste. For 4 servings. Recipe by Nacchi sencho
