Dinner 6 Hr. 30 Mins.

Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 1 ham bone with some meat
  • 8 cups water, plus more as needed
  • 1 (16 ounce) package dried lima beans
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 0.5 pound diced cooked ham
  • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

  • Combine ham bone and 8 cups water in a large saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat until remaining meat falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Remove and discard bone. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place lima beans in a large pot; pour in enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil; remove pot from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cooked ham bone meat, lima beans, and diced ham. Reduce heat and simmer, adding additional water as needed, until soup is thickened to desired consistency, about 90 minutes.
  • Stir carrots, salt, pepper, and parsley into the soup. Let simmer until carrots are soft, about 30 minutes more.
