Why do some of the beans end up being crunchy? What did I do wrong.

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.
