1 1/2 cp dried lima beans, (either soak overnight or bring to a boil, turn off stove and cover for about an hour, then rinse with cold water and add other ingredients.)3/4 cp white beans, (do same as lima beans--together is good).1 cp chopped onion1 1/2 cp fresh snow peas (after chopped)1 cp chopped celery1 cp chopped red bell pepper (or your preference)1 cp tomato puree2 1/2 cps diced ham4 cloves garlic, minced48 ozs beef broth (low sodium)14.5 oz can diced tomatoes w/garlic & onion (or preference)1/4 cp wild rice1 cp carrot juice1 cp V8 vegetable cocktail juice (I used Spicy)1 tsp each of thyme, margoram, pepper. (or use fresh herbs)1 whole bay leaf
makes 12 1-cup servings or 24 1/2-cup servings.
(
1. Soak limas and white beans overnight; or bring to a boil, turn off heat and cover for an hour.
2. While beans are soaking chop the vegetables and ham. Mince the garlic.
3. Give beans a good rinse before adding other ingredients; this helps eliminate gas.
4. Combine everything in either (crockpot) or stew pot, stir, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with lid and cook for approx. 3 hours**, stirring now and then to make sure not sticking to bottom of pan.
** I am estimating cook time because it will depend on your stove. I have a chef's stove, so things cook quicker than a normal stove (mine actually only took about 2 hrs to cook all the way). Plus, if you are using the crockpot, obviously it will be longer. So, basically, you know your own stove and approx. how long it will take. I'm sorry if the time isn't exactly right.
