Title: Wes 'n' Kathy's Authentic Original Lima Bean Soup
Categories: Soup Vegetable
Yield: 6 Servings

12	oz	Dried (large) lima beans or butterbeans
1		Med. onion (chopped)
2		Ribs celery, including tops
1	lg	Carrot (diced)
4	c	Ham stock
1/4	lb	Diced ham
2	c	Water
1		Chili pepin (crushed)
2		Cloves garlic (minced)

We invented this yesterday, and are still munching on it. I wanted a plain plate of butterbeans for my birthday, but Kathy can never do anything 1/2 way.

Salt & black pepper to taste

Place all ingredients except salt and pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover pot and simmer until beans are VERY tender (3 to 4 hours). Salt & pepper to taste. Serve this with bread & butter, garlic bread, or dinner rolls. Makes a complete meal. Enjoy!
