Ingredients

    Chicken thighs and legs, 4 total
    Lima Beans, 4 cup
    Mixed Vegetables, frozen, 1 package (10 oz)
    Chicken stock, home-prepared, 10 cup
    Curry powder, 4 tbsp
    Ground turmeric, 2 tsp
    Garlic powder, 4 tbsp
    Ground Cayanne Pepper, 0.25 tsp
    Celery Salt, 1 tsp
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Rosemary, dried, 1 tsp
    Parsley, dried, 1 tbsp

Directions

Once the broth and Lima Beans are done, drain the water from the Lima beans, add the frozen vegetables, and all the spices to the broth. Simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

QUICK COOK OPTION:

Canned Broth, canned Lima Beans, frozen Vegetables, spices. Boil, simmer, enjoy.

SLOW COOKED OPTION:

I soak the Lima beans according to package directions and use a slow cooker to cook the Lima Beans. I use one pound of dried beans and It takes about 4 hours on high heat.

While the beans are slow cooking, I render down chicken thighs and legs. I boil 4 chicken thighs and legs until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. I boil them for the same amount of time it takes to cook the beans. Continue to add water to the stock as the chicken renders.

I discard the chicken bones, skin. I typically do not save the meat but it can be saved for a future meal.

Drain the Lima Beans and add to the broth along with the frozen vegetables and spices. Cook until frozen vegetables are tender. Enjoy!
