---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.03

Title: WES 'N' KATHY'S AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL LIMA BEAN
Categories: Soups, Vegetables
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!
