Ingredients

1 lb. bag dried baby limas (white or green)

2 onions (chopped)

3 carrots (grated)

3 celery stalks (finely chopped)

1 lb. cooked ham, diced (I use a 97% fat free ham steak)

2 qt. chicken broth (8 cups) - I use Swanson's Natural Goodness Chicken Broth

Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions

Wash beans well; add water to cover beans well. Cook slowly with ham until beans are tender (about 1 hour). Add hot water as needed. Add vegetables, broth, and seasoning. Mix well and simmer until ready to serve. Freezes well.

**This is super when you add a handful or two or fresh spinach just before serving. Grated parmesan cheese is also a nice finish. Yummy served with a warm piece of a chewy bread loaf or roll. These additions are not included in the nutritional information.

Makes approximately 13 - 1 Cup servings.
