Ingredients
1 pound dried large lima beans (I used Goya)1/4 cup olive oil (or less if you prefer - I like a few "glubs" out the big can)1 large onion (size of softball)3 garlic cloves, sliced1 quart vegetable broth1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes 1/4 cup red wine vinegar1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tsp dried dillsprinkle cayenne pepper to tastePasta (optional)
Directions
Soak beans overnight and rinse. I pulled the shells off the beans but they are fine if left on (I know, I know not necessary but they just started falling off some so I did them all...)

Brown onion and garlic in oil. Add beans and remaining ingredients except pasta. Cook 35 minutes or until tender. Add water as needed if you like it a bit more soupy. Add pasta and cook until done al dante or to your preference. I took spaghetti pasta and broke into 1-2 inch pieces.

Serving Size: Hmmm - how many cups in a pot? Guessing 24 cups in a 6 quart pot should be a good estimate.
